Ram Lal vs Salig Ram

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the decree of the First Appellate Court on the grounds that the Local Commissioner failed to carry out demarcation according to applicable instructions. The Court emphasized that the findings of the Trial Court, which were in favor of the plaintiffs regarding ownership and possession of the land, should not have been disregarded without substantial evidence of encroachment by the defendants. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, reinstating the decree of the First Appellate Court.
