Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's decision that the sale of land by the 5th respondent to the first respondent was valid under the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings and Prevention of Fragmentation Act, 1956, specifically referencing Sections 3 and 10. The Court established that the appellants, having accepted the sale and not objected within the statutory period, could not later challenge the ownership. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling and the validity of the land transaction.
