Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Rajasthan High Court regarding the sale of property under Section 53 of the Provincial Insolvency Act, affirming that the sale was a bona fide transaction for valuable consideration and executed in good faith. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claim that the sale was fraudulent, as the evidence supported that possession was delivered to the vendee. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' decisions that the sale could not be annulled by the Official Receiver.
