Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over property ownership and possession, specifically focusing on the validity of a sale deed executed on 29.6.1974 and subsequent licensing arrangements. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof lies on the party claiming possession, and the dishonor of cheques for license fees was a critical factor in determining the respondent's rights. Ultimately, the Court held that the appellant was entitled to recover possession of the property, affirming the lower court's decision in favor of the appellant.
