Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Calcutta High Court dismissing the Second Appeal No. 518 of 2008, confirming the First Appellate Court's reversal of the Trial Court's dismissal of the respondents' suit. The Court emphasized the importance of the affidavits submitted by the family members, particularly regarding their refugee status and the loss of property in Pakistan, which were pivotal in the land allotment process. The Court concluded that the appellants failed to establish their claim over the land, thereby affirming the lower courts' decisions.
