Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant's claim of being a minor at the time of loan agreement was not substantiated by admissible evidence, as the documents relied upon were inadmissible under the Evidence Act. The Court ruled that the procedural irregularities in the auction process did not invalidate the title of the auction purchaser under Section 27 of the M.P. Sahkari Bhoomi Vikas Bank Adhiniyam, 1966. Consequently, the High Court's decision to reverse the Board of Revenue's findings was upheld, affirming the legality of the auction sale.
