Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the respondent's revision petition under Section 115 CPC, affirming that the appellant's claims regarding the property being a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) property were barred by res judicata due to prior judgments. The Court clarified that the trial court's dismissal of the respondent's application for recovery of possession was erroneous as the appellant had not made an unequivocal admission regarding ownership. The outcome was a decree in favor of the respondent for possession and damages.
