Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the sale of property by the appellant, Kiran Bala, was fraudulent under Section 53 of the Transfer of Property Act, as it was executed to defeat the claims of creditors. The Court found that the appellant's residential house was exempt from attachment under Section 60(1)(ccc) of the Code of Civil Procedure, applicable in Punjab, and thus granted relief to the appellant. The dismissal of the revision petition by the Punjab and Haryana High Court was overturned, allowing the appellant to retain her property.
