SMT. BHATORI vs SMT. RAM PIARI

The Supreme Court held that the sale of land by the holder of a power of attorney, Ram Mehrar, to his wife was invalid due to fraud, as the appellant was deprived of her rights and interests in the property. The Court emphasized that the fraud rendered the contract void, and the lower courts failed to appreciate this aspect properly. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the judgments of the lower courts were set aside, with the suit decreed in favor of the appellant and exemplary costs awarded.
