Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower appellate court, which found that the appellants failed to prove ownership of the disputed land claimed as their sehan. The Court noted that the appellants had admitted to a family separation, which affected their claim to the land, and that the respondents had constructed a boundary wall, indicating their possession. The Court emphasized the importance of proving ownership and possession in civil disputes, affirming the lower court's ruling that the appellants had no direct access to the disputed land.
