Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court, affirming the trial court's ruling that certain properties were not covered by the definition of 'scheduled undertaking' under Section 2(h) of the U.P. Sugar Undertakings Acquisition Act, 1971. The Court clarified that the plaintiffs were entitled to possession of these properties, rejecting the defendants' claims of res judicata and the applicability of Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The outcome favored the plaintiffs, allowing them to assert their rights over the specified properties.
