Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's dismissal of Second Appeal No.183 of 2000, affirming the lower courts' findings that the appellant lacked valid title and lawful possession of the property in question. The Court ruled that since no partition had occurred among the heirs of Krishna and Maruti Kamble, the appellant's claim based on a sale deed from Housabai was invalid. The Court emphasized that possession without a valid title is not sufficient to claim ownership, thereby dismissing the appeal.
