Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the relinquishment deed executed by the father of the first respondent on 26.4.1960 was valid, thereby establishing the ownership of the first respondent and his mother over the suit land under the Hindu Succession Act. The Court ruled that the subsequent sale deeds executed by the father in favor of the appellant were not binding on the first respondent and his mother, as they had already relinquished their rights. The appeal by the appellant was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision in favor of the first respondent.
