Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Punjab and Haryana High Court erred in reversing the trial court's findings regarding ownership and possession of the property under dispute. The court emphasized that the plaintiff failed to substantiate his claim of ownership and the existence of a licensor-licensee relationship, as evidenced by the defendant's continuous possession since 1931. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the plaintiff could not claim relief based on unproven ownership and the defendant's adverse possession was not relevant to the plaintiff's claims.
