Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Punjab and Haryana High Court regarding the declaration of ownership over ancestral land under Section 100 CPC. The Court established that the sale of land by Ajit Singh was void due to lack of consideration and legal necessity, thus preserving the reversionary rights of the plaintiffs. The Court affirmed that the plaintiffs, as reversioners, were entitled to their share in the land despite the prior compromise between Joginder Singh and Bishan Singh, as they were not parties to that agreement.
