Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the clause in the mortgage deed specifying a 99-year term does not constitute a clog on the equity of redemption under Section 60 of the Transfer of Property Act. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, stating that the suit for redemption was not premature despite the appellants' claims. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the right of the respondent-plaintiff to redeem the property by paying the mortgage amount of Rs.7,000.
