Ketaki Sahu & Ors vs Laxmi Devi & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a sale deed executed by Subarna, ruling that the sale was not void ab initio but voidable, as it was executed under questionable circumstances. The Court held that the trial court's findings regarding the execution and consideration were upheld, but expressed doubts about their correctness. The Court concluded that the respondents could seek possession of the land without a formal declaration of the sale's invalidity, as the sale was prima facie valid unless adjudged otherwise. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
