Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a will and a sale deed concerning property ownership, emphasizing the principles of adverse possession and the legal status of relationships in inheritance matters. The Court held that the will executed by Phoolbasa Bai was invalid as she was not the legally wedded wife of Chhatrapati, and thus her claims over the property were not legitimate. The Court confirmed the trial court's findings regarding the plaintiff's ownership through adverse possession, thereby upholding the decree in favor of Ganeshram.
