Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in allowing the plaintiffs' second appeal and granting a decree for perpetual injunction, as the Trial Court and First Appellate Court had recorded concurrent findings of fact that the plaintiffs failed to prove the necessary ingredients for such an injunction. The Court emphasized that interference by the High Court in concurrent findings is only warranted when those findings are perverse or against the law. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the judgments of the lower courts, dismissing the plaintiffs' suit.
