Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decree of the Trial Court granting a mandatory injunction under Section 39 of the Specific Relief Act, directing the Appellants to demolish encroachments on the Respondent's property, which was bequeathed to him by his father through a registered Will. The Court emphasized the importance of title in property disputes and affirmed that previous suits did not bar the current action as the issues were distinct. The Court ruled in favor of the Respondent, confirming his entitlement to the property and the injunction against the Appellants.
