Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of appeals concerning ownership and possession of property, affirming the trial court's finding that the sale deed in favor of respondent No.1 was valid and that the agreement to sell claimed by the appellants was antedated. The Court emphasized that the High Court did not err in reversing the trial court's factual findings, thus confirming the ownership of respondent No.1 and the direction for the appellants to vacate the property. The judgment reinforces the principle that factual findings by lower courts should not be lightly disturbed unless there is a clear error.
