KRISHNANAND(D) TH. LRS vs DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CONSOLIDATION

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court erred in setting aside the findings of fact made by the Consolidation Officer and other authorities under the UP Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953. The Court emphasized that the High Court's jurisdiction under Article 226 is not to re-appreciate evidence or interfere with concurrent findings of fact. The appeal was allowed, restoring the orders of the Consolidation Officer and dismissing Kamla Devi's claim over the suit property, thereby affirming her status as a trespasser.
