The Supreme Court's power to admit attorneys-at-law is a judicial function, not an administrative one. The Supreme Court's supervisory jurisdiction under Article 125(1)(c) of the Constitution does not extend to reviewing its own judicial decisions, including those of the Chief Justice admitting attorneys. The absence of an appeal right under the Legal Practitioners Act does not create jurisdiction for judicial review. The Bar Association lacks standing to challenge individual admissions by judicial review. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

The appellant failed to prove ownership of the Manager's House and the relevant land parcel, and the respondent had a valid licence to occupy the Manager's House with her father's consent. The acts complained of, except for the August 2022 incident and changing the office lock, did not amount to trespass. Even where trespass was established, the appellant failed to prove actionable damage as required by Article 1382. The trial court's findings on credibility and lack of damage were upheld, and the appeal was dismissed.

The appeal is barred by section 212 of the Immovable Property (Judicial Sales) Act because the appellants did not raise any objection at the time of adjudication. The statutory bar is absolute and precludes appellate review, regardless of subsequent claims of unfairness or new evidence. The documents relied on by the appellants did not constitute a valid objection under the Act, and the application to adduce new evidence fails to meet the legal threshold.
