Revenue Entries Don't Confer Title But Are Admissible As Evidence Of Possession: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of India ruled that revenue entries do not confer title but are admissible as evidence of possession. The court clarified that while revenue records can indicate possession, they do not establish ownership rights. This decision came in a property dispute case where the parties relied on revenue entries to claim ownership. The court emphasized the need for proper legal documentation to establish title and ownership, reinforcing the principle that possession alone is not sufficient to claim property rights. This ruling provides clarity on the evidentiary value of revenue records in property disputes.
