Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision affirming the District Judge's ruling in favor of the plaintiffs regarding title and injunction over land. The Court noted that the mutation entries from 1916 and 1927, which suggested the land was held on behalf of villagers, were declared legally ineffective due to doubts raised about their authenticity. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs' claim to ownership, based on inheritance from Amarsi Gujjar, was valid despite the defendants' assertions of communal ownership.
