Mohamed Masthan vs Society, Congregation, Bros., S. Heart ...

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a sale of property belonging to the Society of Congregation of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, which was contested by the Society after a consent decree was passed in favor of the Second Respondent. The Court held that the consent decree in OS No. 1220 of 1987 was valid and binding, despite the Second Respondent's claims of ignorance and lack of participation. The Court emphasized that the execution of the decree was lawful, and the Society's rights were upheld, thereby dismissing the Second Respondent's subsequent suit as an attempt to undermine the settled decree.
