Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Karnataka High Court's order allowing the defendant-respondent to initiate ejectment proceedings against the plaintiff-appellants was justified. The Court emphasized that the absence of a registered sale deed does not negate the ownership claim if the sale consideration has been paid and possession has been taken. The Court upheld the principle that peaceful possession must be protected unless a valid title is established by the opposing party, leading to the dismissal of the appeal by the plaintiff-appellants.
