Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, claiming title to property as belonging to an idol, failed to establish ownership over the land, which was determined to be Government poramboke land. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff to establish title, and the evidence presented did not substantiate the claim that the land was covered by the settlement deed executed in 1930. Consequently, the Court upheld the findings of the lower courts, dismissing the appeal.
