Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's second appeal, affirming that no substantial question of law arose. The Court ruled that the respondent was a Bhumidar in possession of the land, and the appellant's claim of ownership through alleged government transfer was unproven. The Court also dismissed the appellant's application for amendment of the written statement under Order 6 Rule 17 of the CPC, stating it could not be entertained in a second appeal.
