Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decree for restoration of possession and mesne profits concerning House No. ED-48, Tagore Garden, New Delhi, emphasizing the importance of leasehold rights under the perpetual lease deed granted by the President of India. The Court found that the plaintiff, Dharampal Dhall, had established his claim to the property despite the defendants' assertions of ownership and occupation since 1966. The Court affirmed that the suit was not barred by limitation and that the defendants had no rightful claim to the property, thus maintaining the lower courts' decisions.
