Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's decision dismissing the appeal of the Travancore Devaswom Board regarding the eviction of trespassers from property claimed to belong to the Board. The Court found that the property did not belong to the Board but to Respondent No. 1, and that the eviction was unjustified. The Court emphasized the importance of proper title and possession in property disputes, affirming the High Court's ruling that the Board's claim was without merit.
