Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant a permanent injunction under Section 38 of the Specific Relief Act, restraining the defendants from interfering with the plaintiff's possession of the suit property. The Court found that the first appellate court erred in dismissing the plaintiff's claim, as the evidence supported the plaintiff's continuous possession. The judgment confirmed the trial court's order to restore the property to its original condition, emphasizing the importance of protecting possession in property disputes.
