Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs, having been recorded as owners of the suit lands, were entitled to restoration of possession under Section 158(1)(b) of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959. The Court found no justification for the High Court's interference with the concurrent findings of the lower courts, which had upheld the plaintiffs' claim to ownership and possession. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, restoring the plaintiffs' rights over the lands in question.
