M. Purnachander Rao vs Sri Nawab Mazaharuddin Khan (D) Thr. ...

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's appeal by the High Court on the grounds of limitation was improper. The Court emphasized that the appellant, as a bona fide purchaser of land under a registered sale deed, had a legitimate claim to the property, which was previously excluded from distribution in a preliminary decree due to ongoing title inquiries. The Court ruled that the appellant's rights should be recognized, thereby allowing the appeal and setting aside the High Court's order.
