Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs were entitled to a declaration of ownership over site No.20 based on the allotment letter and possession certificate issued by the Bangalore Development Authority. The Court found that the trial court erred in dismissing the suit on the grounds of lack of title documents, as the defendants had admitted the plaintiffs' title. The Court reversed the trial court's decision, granting the plaintiffs the relief sought for, thereby establishing that possession certificates can support claims of ownership when backed by allotment documents.
