Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the presumption of correctness of entries in revenue records is rebuttable, but cannot be challenged merely by statements in a written statement. The Court found that the appellant's reliance on a written statement not filed in the lower courts was inadmissible. The Court upheld the decision of the Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal, which recognized the respondent as a tenant and granted him occupancy rights, thereby dismissing the appellant's appeal.
