MANOJI RAO vs T. KRISHNA . — C.A. No. 482/2001

Case Summary: MANOJI RAO v. T. KRISHNA & ORS. (C.A. 482/2001) The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal and upheld the High Court's decision granting the respondent-plaintiffs' declaration of ownership over a Bangalore property (Site No. 20). The trial court had rejected the plaintiffs' claim, holding that a possession certificate alone was insufficient to establish title; however, the High Court found that the plaintiffs' documents—including an allotment letter (1973), possession certificate (1981), payment receipts, and construction license—collectively established their possessory rights, while the defendants admitted the allotment to plaintiffs without setting up any countervailing title. The Supreme Court found no reason to disturb the High Court's appreciation of the documentary evidence and dismissed the appeal without costs.
