Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's judgment which set aside the decree of the Additional District Judge regarding customary rights over land. The Court held that the High Court erred in concluding that the plaintiffs' ownership was subject to the defendants' customary rights, emphasizing that such rights must be established with clear evidence. The Court reinstated the decree of the Additional District Judge, affirming the plaintiffs' exclusive rights over Khasra No.1665 and rejecting the defendants' claims.
