Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the Union of India's appeal regarding ownership of a plot of land near Krishnarajapuram Railway Station. The Court affirmed the lower court's findings that the suit was barred by limitation and that the appellant failed to prove their title, while the respondents successfully established their claim through ancestral occupancy rights. The Court also addressed the appellant's request to introduce additional evidence under Order 41 Rule 27 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, ultimately ruling that the evidence did not alter the outcome of the case.
