Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Trial Court's decision granting a mandatory injunction in favor of Jagadambal, confirming her ownership of the suit property based on the Settlement Deed dated 25.4.1949 and the subsequent sale deed. The Court ruled that the respondents, as daughters of Sundaramurthy, had no legal claim to the property since it was transferred to Jagadambal, and their occupation was merely permissive. The Court emphasized that the respondents' claim of inheritance was unfounded, leading to the dismissal of their appeal.
