Ram Bahal & Anr vs Deputy Director, Consolidation & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the Deputy Director of Consolidation and the Consolidation Officer under Section 48 of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, confirming the expunction of the appellants' names from the revenue records. The Court established that the Deputy Director had the authority to reassess evidence and interpret revenue entries, rejecting the appellants' claim of adverse possession. The Court found no grounds for interference with the findings of the Deputy Director, thereby dismissing the appeal.
