Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the sale deed dated April 30, 1963, executed by the first defendant group in favor of the plaintiffs conveyed absolute title to the suit property, despite the vendors' claim of cancellation due to non-payment of the full consideration. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs had paid a substantial amount and deposited the remaining balance in court, thus establishing their entitlement to the property. The Court ruled that the subsequent sale deed executed by the vendors to the second purchasers was illegal and not binding on the first purchasers, affirming their title to the property.
