BISHAN DAI ETC. B.R.MAHAJAN. vs LAJWANTI ETC. — RSA/326/1998

Summary: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed the appellants' appeal, reversing the lower appellate court's decision. The court found that Mool Chand (the appellants' predecessor) had been validly allotted evacuee property with a registered conveyance deed dated 1978, and a Settlement Commissioner's inspection in July 1979 confirmed his possession—making the appellants' 1983 suit for possession timely and within the limitation period. The court decreed the suit entirely in favor of the appellants, granting them full ownership and possession of all portions of the property, including portion 'C' which the trial court had denied.
