Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Keshav and others against the High Court's decision which decreed the suit in favor of Gian Chand and Dhanbir, confirming their ownership of the land gifted to them by Hardei. The court found that the gift deed was valid and that Keshav's claim to the land through mutation was illegal. The judgment emphasized the importance of adhering to the terms of the gift deed and the rightful possession of the plaintiffs.
