Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Allahabad High Court's decision which set aside the order of the Revisional Court regarding the legal heirship of property inherited by Sonia. The Court held that the High Court erred in relying on the appellants' alleged admission about the illegitimacy of Debiya, as the evidence presented did not conclusively establish his parentage. The Court reinstated the order of the Revisional Court, affirming the appellants' claim to be the legal heirs under the U.P. Consolidation Holdings Act, 1953.
