In Brief
Vijay Laxmi and others appealed against a lower court order concerning ownership of two parcels of land in Shimla: 6 biswas in Sector 2 and 17 biswas in Sector 4. The dispute had lasted over 30 years. Both parties indicated willingness to settle by accepting one parcel each, though they disagreed on value. The Supreme Court allowed the appeals, granting the appellants title to the 6 biswas plot and the respondents the 17 biswas plot, with mandatory handover of possession within ten months. Each party obtained absolute title and ownership of their respective property.
