Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a dispute regarding ownership and possession of land under the Rajasthan Urban Improvement Act, 1959. The Court held that the plaintiffs, who claimed ownership based on a lease from the Gram Panchayat, failed to establish their case as the land was determined to be government property earmarked for grazing. The Court upheld the Trial Court's decision that the plaintiffs were in illegal possession and not entitled to an injunction, thereby reversing the First Appellate Court's decree.
