Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by adjudicating the validity of an unregistered and insufficiently stamped agreement to sell, which was only to be considered for admissibility under the Indian Evidence Act. The Court emphasized that the revision petition should have been limited to the admissibility of the document, as the trial court's reasons for exclusion were unsustainable. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, restoring the trial court's decision regarding the document's admissibility.
