In Brief
In this civil appeal concerning possession and ownership of property, the Supreme Court examined claims of Krishnamurthy S. Setlur's legal heirs that he held constructive possession through a tenant. The Court found that his claim to be the true owner had been rejected at all trial and appellate stages. O.V. Narasimha Setty was established as the rightful owner. The respondent's legal heirs failed to demonstrate how they obtained possession of the property. Accordingly, the Court allowed the appellant's appeal, recognizing the binding effect of affirmance by the appellate court on the possession issue.
