Probodh Chandra Ghosh vs Urmila Dassi And Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the Benami Transactions Prohibition Act, 1988 in execution proceedings under Section 144 CPC. The Court held that the terms 'action' and 'claim' in Section 4 of the Act encompass proceedings under Section 144 CPC, thus affirming the High Court's decision that the delivery of possession violated the Ordinance. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's order setting aside the writ for restoration of possession to the appellant.
