Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the first appellate court's decision without any challenge from the defendants regarding the appellant's entitlement to 22 decimals of land. The Court emphasized that in the absence of an appeal by the defendants, the High Court could not take a contrary view, thus confirming the relief granted by the first appellate court. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, reinstating the first appellate court's order.
