Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in framing a substantial question of law regarding the appellant's title to the suit lands, as it was primarily a question of fact. The Court emphasized that the High Court's reliance on the appellant's admission of not being listed in revenue records and being dispossessed was misplaced, as it overlooked other evidence supporting the appellant's claim. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and restored the decree of the first appellate court in favor of the appellant.
