Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's order dated 17.4.2000, which set aside the Additional District Judge's decree in a land dispute case. The Court emphasized the importance of customary rights and the principles of res judicata under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court held that the High Court erred in its judgment, thereby reinstating the findings of the Additional District Judge regarding the lack of customary rights claimed by the respondents.
