Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions regarding the plaintiff's suit for permanent injunction against the defendant Board, confirming that the plaintiff had established his possession of the property despite the Board's claims of prior acquisition under the B.S.H.B. Act and CNT Act. The Court ruled that the plaintiff's suit was maintainable without a declaration of title, as he provided sufficient evidence of possession. The Court found that the defendant failed to prove the finality of the land acquisition proceedings, thus affirming the trial court's decree.
