Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the lower courts that the defendant had encroached upon the plaintiffs' land, confirming the decrees for possession in favor of the plaintiffs. The Court noted that the defendant's claim of increased land area from 4.23 hectares to 5.3 hectares was unsubstantiated and that the map prepared by the Revenue authorities was admissible despite challenges regarding its proof under Section 83 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. The appeal was dismissed as the issues raised were factual in nature and did not warrant interference.
