Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals stemming from two suits regarding property disputes, specifically focusing on the validity of an oral agreement of sale and the right to recover possession. The Court emphasized that an oral agreement must be substantiated by clear evidence, and in this case, the plaintiff's claim of ownership was upheld as the defendants failed to prove their title. The Court held that the plaintiff was entitled to recover possession of the property, reinforcing the principle that possession follows title under property law.
