Shabbir (D) By Lrs. & Ors vs Abdul Sattar And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Board of Revenue, affirming that the sale deed dated 20th January 1961 was invalid due to lack of prior permission under Section 5(1)(c)(ii) of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953. The Court emphasized that the legal principle of requiring prior permission for valid transactions in consolidation proceedings is crucial for maintaining land ownership integrity. Consequently, the appeal against the High Court's order was dismissed, reinforcing the Board's ruling on the invalidity of the sale deed.
