Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' writ petition challenging the Assistant Director of Consolidation's order regarding the legality of a sale deed dated 21st May 1969 under the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953. The Court found that the concurrent findings of fact established that the original tenure-holder, Sanehi, was the sole owner of the land, and the appellants failed to prove their claim of ownership. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, emphasizing the importance of recorded title in property disputes under Section 4 and Section 9(2) of the Act.
