KAMALJIT SINGH vs SARABJIT SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of an eviction petition under Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Land Restriction Act, 1949, ruling that the appellant failed to prove ownership of the suit shop for the requisite five-year period prior to filing. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the additional evidence sought by the appellant was not admissible as it could have been presented earlier. The Court emphasized the necessity of proving ownership to invoke the provisions of Section 13-B, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
