SHRI RAM vs IST ADDL DISTT JUDGE

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a civil suit for cancellation of a sale deed is barred under Section 331 and Schedule II of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950. The Court held that the suit filed by the appellants was maintainable despite the High Court's ruling, as the original owner had also filed a suit for cancellation. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, affirming the trial court's decision that the appellants could pursue their claim in civil court.
