R. Kuppayee & Anr vs Raja Gounder

The Supreme Court held that a registered settlement deed executed by the respondent in favor of his daughters was valid and binding, despite the respondent's claims of it being executed under duress and misrepresentation. The Court emphasized that once a settlement deed is executed and possession is handed over, it cannot be unilaterally revoked, as per the principles of property law. The appeal was allowed, overturning the lower courts' dismissal of the suit seeking protection of the appellants' possession of the property.
