Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the rights of a co-mortgagor to redeem their share under Section 60 of the Transfer of Property Act and the implications of estoppel as per Section 115 of the Evidence Act. The Court held that the plaintiff, having purchased the equity of redemption, was entitled to redeem the property despite previous denials of liability by the heirs of the mortgagor. The suit was ultimately dismissed on grounds of time limitation and estoppel, affirming the lower court's findings.
