Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court regarding the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, affirming that the disputed land was correctly recorded in the names of Baij Nath and others as Sirdars. The Court emphasized that the earlier orders of the Assistant Consolidation Officer and the Civil Judge were valid and that the Settlement Officer's reversal was not supported by sufficient evidence. The Court held that the rights of the parties must be determined based on the consolidation proceedings and existing revenue records, thereby dismissing the appeals.
