Saroj Maheshwari vs State of Haryana & Ors

Bench: 2 — Anil R. Dave

In Brief

The appellant challenged the High Court's judgment regarding possession of disputed land. A factual contradiction existed: the appellant contended possession was with the land's owners in 2002-2003, while the respondents claimed it was taken over in 1995-1996. The Supreme Court found the High Court had failed to examine this critical factual dispute. Consequently, the Court set aside the impugned orders and remanded the case to the High Court to decide afresh after properly hearing both parties on the issue of when possession was actually transferred.
