Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the binding nature of findings on title in eviction suits, clarifying that such findings are generally not binding in subsequent title declaration suits unless exceptional circumstances exist. The Court held that the eviction suit's findings could be binding if the title issue was directly and conclusively determined, which was not the case here. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the earlier findings were deemed non-binding in the subsequent title suit.
