Summary: C.A. No. 007180/2002 – T.M. Mohammed Hanifa v. Rajathi Beevi Decided: December 2, 2008 The Supreme Court allowed the appellants' appeal and set aside the High Court's judgment. The case concerned whether a disputed lane was private or public. The trial court held it private; the first appellate court reversed this, finding it public; the High Court reversed again, declaring it private. The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred by reversing factual findings of the first appellate court without an error of law, noting oral evidence supported the public lane finding. The court restored the first appellate court's judgment holding the lane public, with no order on costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
