MAHANT DHANGIR AND ANOTHER vs MADAN MOHAN AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the Math's cross-objection regarding the invalidity of the sale of property to Madan Mohan. The Court clarified that under Rule 22 of Order 41 CPC, the Math could file a cross-objection to contest the finding of invalidity, even if it was against a co-respondent. The Court also stated that Rule 33 of Order 41 CPC could be invoked to provide relief to the Math, ensuring that it was not left without a remedy despite the High Court's ruling.
