Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the trial Court's dismissal of the plaintiff's suit for possession and mesne profits was justified, as the plaintiff failed to prove the passing of consideration under the sale deed dated 25.4.1981 and the factum of adoption of defendant no. 3 by Yashoda. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff must establish his title independently rather than relying on the defendants' weaknesses. The High Court's reversal of the first appellate Court's decree was upheld, confirming that Buchamma was not the sole heir and that the plaintiff's claim lacked merit under the relevant property laws.
