MOHAMED MASTHAN vs SOCIETY,CONGREGATION,BROS.,S.HEART

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a property transfer by the Society of Congregation of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, which claimed that a sale to Siluvai Rajan was invalid. The Court held that a compromise decree in OS No. 1220 of 1987, which recognized the Society's title, was binding despite the Second Respondent's later claims of ignorance and lack of consent. The Court emphasized that the execution of the decree was valid and upheld the Society's rights over the property, dismissing the Second Respondent's suit as an attempt to undermine the settled decree.
