Purshottam Das Tandon Dead By Lrs.& Anr vs Military Estate Officer & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appellant's entitlement to the property must be determined through a civil suit, as the issues involved were highly disputed questions of fact regarding title. The Court reiterated that the Union of India's claim of resumption based on an old grant was not sufficient to deny the appellant's rights established through prior judgments. The Court affirmed that the appellant's possession and rights over the property, as established in earlier proceedings, must be respected until resolved in a civil suit.
