Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in remanding the matter to the Trial Court for further evidence on the identity of disputed land, as sufficient evidence had already been presented, including a Court Commissioner's report. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have decided the appeal on its merits instead of sending it back for additional evidence. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the High Court's order was set aside, and the case was remanded to the High Court for a decision on merits.
