The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant a declaration of title in favor of the first respondent-Plaintiff under the principles of property law. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff, being the only male heir and having performed the last rites for Tarawati Devi, had a legitimate claim to the property originally belonging to Girish Chandra Prasad. The Court found that the defendant's claims regarding the property being owned by Dhanukdhari Sahay were unsubstantiated, thereby affirming the title of the plaintiff over the disputed property.
