Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the concurrent findings of the trial court and the lower Appellate Court regarding the title and possession of the suit property under Section 100 C.P.C. The Court found that the appellant's father was the rightful owner of the land and that the respondent's claim of an exchange was unsubstantiated. The Court restored the lower Appellate Court's decision, affirming the appellant's title and possession, and awarded costs to the appellant.
