Kishori Lal vs Sales Officer, District Land ...

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who was a minor at the time of taking the loan, had a void contract under Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court found that the auction proceedings were irregular but upheld the title of the purchaser under Section 27 of the M.P. Sahkari Bhoomi Vikas Bank Adhiniyam, 1966, stating that procedural irregularities do not invalidate the sale. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellant's minor status did not affect the auction's validity due to the procedural nature of the irregularities involved.
