Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of a property possession suit based on various documents including a Power of Attorney, agreement to sell, affidavit, and will, which were contested on grounds of admissibility and enforceability. The Court upheld the findings of the lower courts that the appellant was in possession and that the suit was maintainable, dismissing the appeal. The judgment reaffirmed the importance of documentary evidence and proper legal procedures in property disputes. The Court ultimately affirmed the decree for possession and mesne profits in favor of the respondent.
