Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the applicability of the Quanoon Mal of Gwalior State to the property in question, affirming that the appellants, as the deceased landowner's grandsons, were not entitled to succeed to the property. The Court noted that the earlier litigation had established this applicability, and the appellants did not dispute it. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration regarding the alternative claim under the Ryotwari Act.
