Draupadi Devi & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision dismissing the plaintiff's suit for declaration of title to the property at 3, Mansingh Road, New Delhi. The Court found that the property was originally leased to Khan Bahadur Abdul Hamid and subsequently sold to Maharaja Jagatjit Singh, with the plaintiff's claim based on a sale deed from Maharaja Paramjit Singh being unsubstantiated. The Court emphasized that the property was recorded as State property in official records, thus affirming the legal principle that ownership must be established through clear and credible documentation. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's ruling.
