Adverse Inference in Land Vesting Disputes | Municipal Committee Must Prove Transfer of Open Spaces to Claim Ownership : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a Municipal Committee cannot assert ownership over open spaces in a colony without documentary evidence of vesting. Drawing an adverse inference against the Committee for failing to produce key records, the Court restored the co-operative society’s title, reinforcing the burden of proof in land disputes involving public authorities.
