Case History
Case Summary: Lankeswar Malakar v. R. Deka (CA No. 004813/2000) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and remitted the case to the High Court for fresh consideration. The dispute concerned land ownership claims based on a 1958 will favoring the plaintiffs versus a 1958 deed of gift to the defendant's ancestor. The Trial Court decreed for plaintiffs, finding the defendant's chain of title invalid; however, the First Appellate Court reversed, and the High Court dismissed the second appeal. The Supreme Court found the High Court erred by failing to properly correlate the suit lands with those described in the will and by relying on a single witness deposition without examining complete record evidence.
