Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision declaring the sale deed dated 21.05.1983 executed by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) in favor of the appellant as void, citing the provisions of the Bangalore Development Authority Act. The Court affirmed that the plaintiff had established her claim of ownership through adverse possession, having been in possession since 1940, and that the BDA's actions were not binding on her. The Court also confirmed the High Court's order restraining the BDA from interfering with the plaintiff's possession of the property.
