KETAKI SAHU vs LAXMI DEVI .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a sale deed executed by Subarna, holding that the sale deed was not void ab initio but voidable. The Court found that the trial court's findings regarding the execution and consideration were upheld by the appellate courts, but expressed doubts about these findings. The Court ruled that the respondents could seek possession of the land without a formal declaration of the sale deed's invalidity, as the sale was valid until adjudged otherwise. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
