Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by addressing the validity of an unregistered and insufficiently stamped agreement to sell, which was not the subject of the revision petition. The Court emphasized that the admissibility of the document should have been the sole focus, as per the provisions of the Indian Contract Act and the Indian Registration Act. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for a proper decision on the admissibility of the document, thereby upholding the principles of procedural fairness and jurisdictional limits.
