State of Karnataka On 12 August 2010, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court of Karnataka's impugned judgment dated 09.07.2002. The Court found that the Division Bench had not carefully examined critical aspects, including whether an appeal was filed against the IInd Additional Munsiff's order (26.07.1971) and whether proceedings had abated. The lower courts had found appellants were tenants in possession, but the Division Bench reversed this without proper examination. Outcome: The matter was remanded to the High Court's Division Bench for fresh decision expeditiously in accordance with law. No costs awarded.
