Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court, affirming that the defendants failed to prove their title over the property based on an alleged agreement to sell dated 27th November 1982. The Court emphasized that the general power of attorney executed by Honnanna did not confer any rights to the defendants post his death, as they could not establish possession or transfer of title. Consequently, the plaintiffs were granted declaration and possession of the property in question, reinforcing the legal principle that mere agreements without proper execution and registration do not confer title.
