Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court affirming the plaintiffs' title to the suit land, which was originally recorded in the name of Amarsi Gujjar in 1916. The Court found that the mutation entries indicating that the land was held on behalf of the villagers did not negate the plaintiffs' ownership, as the property devolved to them through survivorship. The Court emphasized the importance of the original title and the legal implications of mutation entries under property law, ultimately ruling in favor of the plaintiffs and dismissing the appeals of the defendants.
