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 rights of heirs under Hindu law. The Court held that the plaintiff, Ganeshram, established ownership through adverse possession as his grandmother had occupied the property continuously since 1932. The Court declared the will and sale deed executed by Phoolbasa Bai as illegal and void, thereby affirming the trial court's decision and reversing the High Court's findings.
