HIRA vs KASTURIBAI & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions that the registered sale deed executed by the respondents' mother was invalid as she had forfeited her rights as a pakka tenant upon remarriage, per the Madhya Bharat Land Revenue and Tenancy Act. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act do not override the forfeiture of tenancy rights under the Tenancy Act. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming that the mother had no title to transfer the land in question.
