GOVINDARAJU vs MARIAMMAN

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting a declaration of title and permanent injunction to the respondent under the Hindu Succession Act, 1955, specifically referencing Section 15(1)(b). The Court established that the respondent, as the vendee from the lawful owner, had a superior claim to the property over the appellant, who failed to prove his title. The judgment of the Trial Court and First Appellate Court was set aside, affirming the respondent's right to peaceful enjoyment of the property.
