Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a dispute over ownership of land, where the first respondent claimed ownership based on a relinquishment deed dated 26.4.1960, while the appellant contended that subsequent sale deeds executed by the father and mother of the first respondent were valid. The Court held that the relinquishment deed was binding, and the sale deeds executed thereafter were not valid against the first respondent and his mother under the Hindu Succession Act. Consequently, the Court affirmed the first respondent's ownership and possession of the land, ruling in his favor.
