Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order modifying the decree regarding land ownership, affirming that the plaintiffs were in possession of Khasra Nos. 415 and 465, while Khasra No. 404 was correctly attributed to the defendants. The Court held that the suit was not barred by limitation for the latter two Khasra numbers, as the cause of action arose from threats of dispossession. The findings were based on oral and documentary evidence, particularly revenue records, and thus the High Court's conclusions were upheld.
