Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a property dispute involving the successors of late Chogyal Sir Tashi Namgyal of Sikkim, who sought recovery of possession and injunction against the defendants for alleged encroachment on their land. The Court emphasized the need for proper evidence to establish ownership and encroachment, referencing relevant property laws. The appeal was allowed, and the case was remanded for further investigation into the actual area of the disputed land, thereby upholding the plaintiffs' claims for rightful possession and protection of their property rights.
