Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the dismissal of a suit based on limitation, where the plaintiff claimed ownership of land through a registered sale deed dated 21.01.1966. The Court held that the findings of the lower courts regarding ownership and possession were valid, emphasizing that the proceedings under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, did not negate the plaintiff's title. The Court ultimately upheld the appellate court's decision that recognized the plaintiff's ownership and dismissed the defendants' claims.
