PARMANAND AND OTHERS vs GANPATRAO AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 149(2) of the C.P. Land Revenue Act, 1917, affirming that if the arrears for which property is sold are not due, the owner has the right to seek to have the sale set aside in a Civil Court. The Court held that subsequent dues arising after the sale proclamation do not invalidate the sale, emphasizing that each specific arrear requires separate proceedings. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower courts' decisions that the sale was valid despite the appellants' claims.
