Civil Decree Finality Overrides Municipal Title Disputes | Layout Plan Incorporation Cannot Be Blocked by Reopening Settled Property Rights : SC
The Supreme Court has ruled that once a civil decree conclusively establishes property title, municipal authorities cannot revive title disputes to block layout plan incorporation. Mere revenue records or registry entries cannot override registered conveyances or judicial findings, reinforcing that final civil judgments bind administrative bodies in land use matters.
