Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs had a valid claim over half of the suit property based on documentary evidence and continuous possession since 1921, as established by the Additional Deputy Commissioner's decree. The Court found that the defendants failed to challenge the demarcation and mutation orders, thus affirming the plaintiffs' rights under the relevant provisions of the law. The appeal by the defendants was dismissed, confirming the plaintiffs' ownership and correcting the erroneous entries in the Record of Rights from 1963.
