Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the trial court's ruling that the plaintiff, K.M. Shaffi, is the rightful owner of the suit plot based on the registered sale deed dated 14.11.1944 and subsequent gift deed dated 20.6.1966. The Court clarified that the appellant's claim of separate ownership was unfounded as the suit plot was part of the larger T.S. 272A and T.S. 273B. The Court emphasized the importance of registered documents in establishing title under the Transfer of Property Act, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
