City Municipal Council Bhalki, ... vs Gurappa(D) By Lrs & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the lower court's dismissal of the suit for declaration of ownership under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff must prove his title and possession over the land, and that discrepancies in revenue records do not negate ownership. The Court held that the legal heirs of the deceased respondent are entitled to seek correction of the revenue records and a declaration of their title to the land in question.
