Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order allowing the respondents to construct on the disputed lands was improper as it undermined the appellants' claim for a declaration of joint family property under the Hindu Succession Act. The Court emphasized that any alienation or construction during the pendency of the suit could prejudice the rights of the parties involved. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and granted an injunction against the respondents from making any constructions until the final decision of the suit.
