Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the restitution application under Section 144 CPC was erroneous, as the appellant's title to the land had been upheld by the High Court on 10.2.1971, establishing him as the Sirdar of the land. The Court emphasized that the appellant was entitled to possession of the suit land, and the High Court's order dated 6.9.1999 could not be sustained. The outcome was a reversal of the High Court's decision, allowing the appellant's claim to possession.
