Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of 'Judicial Discipline and Propriety' and the Doctrine of Precedents, asserting that decisions of coordinate benches must be respected unless referred to a larger bench. The Court upheld the Trial Court's decree for declaration of title, possession, and permanent injunction, confirming that the earlier dismissal of the respondents' ejectment suit was final and binding. The Court ruled that the appellant's possession was legitimate and protected under the law, thereby restoring the Trial Court's judgment.
