Supreme Court grants leave to appeal in Indore land title dispute
This case concerns a dispute over the title to agricultural land in Indore, where the appellants (Ramprasad's heirs) claimed co-ownership and partition, while the respondents argued that Ramprasad had voluntarily relinquished his interest in 1990 and that the suit was barred by limitation.
Appellants: Jamnabai and others (heirs of Ramprasad); Respondents: Vasudev and others; Bench: Justice Augustine George Masih.
- The Court granted leave to appeal.
- The Court noted that an earlier order dated 15.12.2025 directed the parties to maintain the status quo regarding the nature, possession, and title of the suit property.
- The Court recorded on 04.08.2026 that the parties were unable to settle the matter amicably.
- The Court proceeded to adjudicate the appeal on its merits.
- The Court identified four specific questions for consideration, including whether the High Court was justified in disturbing concurrent findings of fact under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and whether the 1990 mutation extinguished Ramprasad's title.
