Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision, affirming the trial court's decree that permanently restrained the State of Orissa from disturbing the appellant-association's possession of the leased land under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court held that the appellant had established continuous possession of the land since the lease was granted in 1949, and the erroneous recording of land during the Hal settlement did not affect their rights. The judgment emphasized the importance of protecting established possession against unlawful interference by the State.
