MAZHAR HASSAN vs GANGU SINGH .

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to restore the Settlement Officer's order, which recognized the respondents' Sirdari rights over disputed land under Section 9-A(2) of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act. The Court found that the respondents had perfected their rights through adverse possession after the execution application by the original decree holders was dismissed due to limitation. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, allowing the respondents' names to be entered in the revenue records.
