Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's civil appeal under Section 100 CPC by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, affirming that no substantial question of law was involved. The Court noted that the land in dispute, historically belonging to a religious trust, was claimed by the government under Section 248 of the M.P. Land Revenue Code, leading to the appellant's dispossession. The Court emphasized the importance of establishing rights under Section 57 of the Code, which governs state ownership of land and the resolution of disputes regarding such ownership.
