Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns a dispute over land ownership involving a permanent lease deed executed by an inamdar in 1943 and a subsequent alleged agreement to sell the same land in 1968. The court examines the competing claims of the appellants, who base their claim on the agreement to sell, and the respondent mill, which acquired the land via a liquidator and subsequent government nationalization. The matter involves the consolidation of a suit for perpetual injunction and a suit for declaration of title.
