Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Guwahati High Court regarding the dismissal of the appellant's Title Suit No. 11 of 1987, which sought declaration of title and recovery of possession of land under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act. The Court found that the appellant failed to establish his claim of ownership over the disputed land, as the evidence presented did not sufficiently prove encroachment by the respondents. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower courts' rulings.
