Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision confirming the Trial Court's decree that the Sale Deed dated 30th May 1959 was voidable to the extent of 3/4th share of the plaintiffs, as the suit house was ancestral property. The Court emphasized that the father of the plaintiffs had no right to alienate the property without the consent of the co-owners. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the plaintiffs' right to joint possession of the suit house under the principles of property law.
