Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's suit for declaration of title and ejectment, emphasizing that the appellant failed to establish his title over the suit property as per the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The Court noted that the appellant's claim was undermined by the lack of mutation in his favor and the dismissal of his previous money suit for arrears of rent. Consequently, the Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, reinforcing the principle that possession does not equate to ownership without proper title.
