Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the ownership of agricultural land under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, specifically Section 100. The Court held that the plaintiff, Dagadabai, was the rightful owner of the suit land as the sole heir of her deceased father, Rustum, and that the defendant's claims of adoption and adverse possession were unsubstantiated. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the Trial Court's ruling that the defendant was in unauthorized possession and ordered his dispossession from the land.
