MAHANT RAM KHILAWAN DAS vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in treating the question framed as a substantial question of law, as it was essentially a question of fact regarding the appellant's title to the temple and lands. The Court emphasized that the admissions made by the appellant regarding his absence from revenue records and dispossession were not sufficient to negate the evidence presented in his favor. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, restoring the judgment of the first appellate court that had favored the appellant's claim for declaration and permanent injunction.
