Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's judgment regarding ownership and possession of land under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court held that the absence of specific khasra numbers in the sale deed does not invalidate the sale, affirming that Col. Girdhar Singh became a co-sharer in the joint holding. The Court upheld the lower court's decision to correct mutation entries while maintaining the status quo of possession until partition proceedings are initiated.
