Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the appellant's claim of exclusive ownership of the suit property, confirming her title under the Inventory Proceedings No. 1075/935 and the Civil Judge's order dated 27th May 1972. The Court emphasized that the respondent's long-term possession and actions did not negate the appellant's established title and possession. The ruling reinforced the principle that possession based on legal title prevails over mere possession without title.
