MAHILA BAJRANGI(DEAD) THR.LRS. . vs BADRIBAI — C.A. No. 4594/1995

Case Summary: Mahila Bajrangi v. Badribai (2002) Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal, upholding the Division Bench's decision that plaintiff Bajrangi failed to establish her claim to a house property in Shyopur. The court found that Bajrangi could not prove that Gopali was the legal wife of deceased Gendilal or that Bajrangi was their biological daughter, and therefore rejected her title claim and the gift deed allegedly executed by Gopali. Key Reasoning: The court rejected evidence from mutation proceedings as insufficient to prove marriage and parentage, finding statements made after disputes arose to be self-serving and lacking independent corroboration. The court also held that mutation proceedings before revenue authorities are not judicial proceedings capable of establishing res judicata in civil suits.
