Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the plaintiff, Mahaboobsab Modinsab Agasimani, is the absolute owner of 7 acres and 10 guntas of land, as established under the Karnataka Land Revenue Code. The Court found that the modifications made by the Revenue Authority regarding land records were illegal and without notice to the plaintiff, thus affirming his title. The judgment of the High Court was modified to recognize the plaintiff's ownership and possession of the entire extent of the land in question.
