Declaration & Injunction–Suit for–Decreed by the High Court with the conclusion that the title over the property is well established by the plaintiff–Plea of appellant-defendant that the High Court wrongly shifted the burden to prove on them–Acceptability–High Court considered the multiple pieces of evidence, orders and documents and string them together to come to a clear conclusion that the title subsists in the plaintiff–These pieces of evidence were adduced and proved by the plaintiff–High Court did not solely rely on the lack of evidence by the appellant State–Clear distinction between burden of proof and standard of proof–Though the appellant is right to the extent that no single document in itself concludes title in favour of the plaintiff, but this is not an issue of burden of proof–This is a matter relating to the sufficiency of evidence–Interference declined.
