Case Summary: RSA/896/2000 - Gulzar Masih v. Amritsar Improvement Trust The High Court dismissed Gulzar Masih's appeal seeking permanent injunction against the Amritsar Improvement Trust. The court found that the disputed property had been validly acquired by the Trust in 1974 with possession delivered on 14.05.1980, as evidenced by the Award statement and possession records. Although Masih held a registered sale deed dated 02.11.1989, the court ruled it was "waste paper" because the vendor (Sucha Singh) had already lost ownership upon acquisition and lacked legal competence to transfer valid title. The court upheld concurrent findings that Masih cannot claim bona fide purchaser status when acquiring property already vested with the Trust. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
