Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower appellate court, which found that the appellants failed to prove ownership and possession of the disputed land claimed as their sehan. The Court noted that the appellants had not established continuous possession since the time of their ancestors, as required under the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950. The Court affirmed that the boundary wall was constructed by the respondents and that the appellants had no direct access to the disputed land, thereby dismissing the appeal for lack of merit.
