Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's special appeal regarding the execution of a sale deed for quarter No.6, stating that the appellant's possession since June 1990 was unauthorized and akin to that of a trespasser. The Court found no evidence of an allotment letter or any payment made by the appellant to the Nagar Palika, thus establishing that there was no privity of contract justifying his claim. The Court concluded that the High Court's decision was justified and dismissed the appeals.
