SUBHASH MAHADEVASA HABIB vs NEMASA AMBASA DHARMADAS (D) BY LRS. &ORS

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the redemption of properties mortgaged by a member of a Hindu Mitakshara family. The Court held that the sale of the equity of redemption by defendant No. 2 to Habib was valid, despite claims from the family members that it was executed without their knowledge and was not binding on them. The Court emphasized that the manager of a joint family can act on behalf of the family in transactions, provided there is a necessity for the sale, thus upholding the decrees of the High Court.
