Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over property ownership under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, affirming the High Court's decision to restore the Sub-Divisional Magistrate's order for possession transfer. The Court held that the appellant's claim of ownership was insufficient to prevent the execution of the Magistrate's order, emphasizing the need for a clear title in property disputes. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's directive for the appellant to vacate the property.
