BALASUBRAMANIAN vs RAMAIAH THONDAMAN

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision in Second Appeal No. 45 of 1985, affirming the plaintiff's title to the suit property based on the sale deed executed by Ramasamy Konar and his daughter Nachammai. The Court rejected the defendant's claims of adverse possession and fraud, emphasizing that the patta does not confer title but merely indicates possession. The Court held that the plaintiff's continuous possession since 1978 established his rightful claim, thus allowing the appeal and restoring the High Court's order.
