Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in overstepping its jurisdiction by re-evaluating evidence and overturning concurrent findings of fact by lower courts in a property dispute. The Court emphasized that the principles of res judicata apply, as previous suits regarding the same property had been dismissed, and the claimants had not established their title. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reaffirming the lower courts' decisions.
