Ramlal & Anr vs Phagua & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the sale deed dated 01.12.1965 executed by the respondent in favor of Mst. Hasrat Bi was a nominal sale, allowing the respondent to reclaim the property upon repayment of Rs.400. The Court emphasized that the concurrent findings of fact by the lower courts were erroneous, particularly regarding the nature of the transaction and the respondent's title to the property. The Court ruled that the respondent retains ownership of the land, contingent upon repayment, thus reversing the lower courts' decisions.
