Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming the City Civil Court's decree in favor of Vasavi Co-op. Housing Society Ltd. for recovery of possession of land under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court emphasized that the appellants, Union of India, failed to establish a valid claim over the land, which was purchased by the plaintiffs from the original owners. The Court ruled that the appellants must vacate the land and restore possession to the plaintiffs, thereby reinforcing the principle of rightful ownership and possession under property law.
