Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiff, Prabhakar Adsule, failed to establish his title and possession over the disputed plot of land measuring 8.70 acres, as the evidence presented did not sufficiently prove the genuineness of the will executed by Somaji in favor of Sajjan Bai, nor the validity of the sale deed executed in favor of the plaintiff. The Court emphasized that the land was Nazul land vested with the State, and thus the plaintiff had no cause of action. The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissing the plaintiff's suit was upheld, reinforcing the principle that ownership must be substantiated by clear evidence of title and possession under relevant land laws.
