Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the First Appellate Court's decision granting permanent injunction to the respondent against the Nagar Palika, affirming that the respondent's grandfather was validly granted Patta for the suit land in 1957. The Court noted that the appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the cancellation of the Patta or that the land was needed for public purpose. The judgment emphasized the importance of established possession rights under the Patta, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that a valid grant cannot be arbitrarily revoked without due process.
