SHABBIR 'DEAD'(BY L.R'S) vs ABDUL SATTAR (DEAD) BY LRS. .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Board of Revenue, affirming that the sale deed executed on 20th January 1961 was invalid due to the absence of prior permission as mandated by Section 5(1)(c)(ii) of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953. The Court emphasized that the validity of the sale deed was contingent upon obtaining such permission, which was not secured, rendering the mutation in favor of the purchasers void. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, confirming the rights of the heirs of Smt. Nanni over the disputed land.
