Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a gift deed executed in 1947 and a will from 1964, asserting that properties gifted by Gulla Kondala Rao to Narasamma could not be alienated by the plaintiffs' father, Ramarao, as he lacked the power of alienation. The Court held that the sales executed by Ramarao were void due to the absence of consideration and the properties being bequeathed to the plaintiffs. The appeal was allowed, affirming the lower court's decision regarding the invalidity of the sales.
