Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a second appeal regarding land ownership, emphasizing that one co-khatedar cannot seek an injunction against another without proof of partition or exclusive possession. The Court noted that the appellants failed to provide documentary evidence to support their claims of ownership and possession, as required under Section 118 of the Transfer of Property Act and Section 161 of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act. The Court affirmed the findings of fact by the lower courts, concluding that no substantial question of law arose.
