Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the dismissal of the appellant's second appeal regarding the eviction suit under the Bihar Privileged Persons Homestead Tenancy Act, 1947. The Court clarified that the suit was maintainable despite the absence of a consequential relief for possession, referencing Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the Parcha was fraudulently obtained, thus validating the eviction order against the appellant.
