Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 17(2)(vi) of the Registration Act, 1908 in a property dispute concerning a passage claimed by the appellants as their exclusive property. The Court held that the consent terms from a prior suit established the appellants' exclusive rights over the marked property, thus affirming their entitlement to prevent interference by the respondents. The judgment reinforced the principle that consent decrees are binding and must be respected in subsequent disputes regarding the same property.
