Subba & Anr vs Debiya And Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's decision which set aside the order of the Revisional Court regarding the legal heirs of Smt. Sonia's property. The Court found that the High Court erred in relying on the appellants' alleged admission regarding the illegitimacy of Debiya, the respondent, born from an illicit relationship. The Court held that the evidence presented did not conclusively establish Debiya's status as a legal heir, thus reinstating the order of the Revisional Court that recognized the appellants as legal heirs under the U.P. Consolidation Holdings Act, 1953.
