DAYAMATHI BAI vs K.M. SHAFFI — C.A. No. 2434/2000

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Dayamathi Bai's appeal and upheld K.M. Shaffi's ownership of the disputed 80'x120' plot. The Court held that since Dayamathi Bai failed to object to the certified copy of the 1944 sale deed and 1966 gift deed when they were submitted as evidence at trial, she waived her right to challenge the mode of proof in later appellate proceedings. Procedural objections regarding document admissibility must be raised promptly when evidence is tendered; failure to do so amounts to waiver and precludes subsequent challenges.
