Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a civil appeal concerning a land encroachment dispute where the appellant claimed ownership of land purchased in 1995, which was partially encroached upon by the respondents. The court examined the evidence presented, including sale deeds and measurements of the land, ultimately ruling in favor of the appellant, affirming their right to possession and ordering the removal of the encroachment. The judgment reinforces the principles of property rights and the need for clear evidence in land disputes.
