NARAYAN LAXMAN PATIL vs M/S GALA CONSTRUCTION CO.P.LTD..

The Supreme Court held that the mutation entry made under Section 37 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, was valid as the appellant had been in continuous possession of the land for over 15 years, and the original owner had not objected to the application for mutation. The Court emphasized that possession is a strong title and cannot be easily disturbed without due process. The appeal was allowed, restoring the mutation entry in favor of the appellant and setting aside the High Court's order that had canceled it.
