Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the plaintiffs lacked any legal title or interest in the suit land but were in possession, thus could not be dispossessed except through due process of law. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs failed to prove their claim of being sub-lessees of Bansi(Banshi) due to lack of documentary evidence, including a lease deed or rent receipts. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings on possession and ownership.
