Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a consent decree passed by the Senior Sub-Judge in favor of Ram Singh, declaring him the owner of 52 kanals of land and a residential house, was valid despite subsequent claims by Bhagwana's daughters, Phool Patti and Phool Devi. The Court emphasized that the existence of a family settlement was acknowledged by Bhagwana, and the decree did not require a determination of whether the property was ancestral or self-acquired. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the consent decree and affirming Ram Singh's ownership rights.
