Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order which set aside the trial court's judgment in a property dispute. The Court held that the delay in filing the Special Leave Petition (S.L.P.) was justified and condoned, allowing the appeal to proceed. The Court reaffirmed the principle that a sale deed executed by a party who lacks the authority to transfer ownership is not binding, emphasizing the need for proper legal standing in property transactions under relevant civil laws.
