Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a dispute regarding property rights under the Bihar Land Reforms Act and the Forest Act, 1927. The Court held that the trial court's allowance of third-party intervention under Order I Rule 10(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure was appropriate, as it was necessary for a complete adjudication of the case. The Court emphasized the importance of considering claims of adverse possession and inheritance in property disputes, ultimately affirming the trial court's decision to permit the amendment of the written statement by the defendants claiming long and uninterrupted possession.
