Usha Sinha vs Dina Ram & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the ex-parte decree passed in Title Suit No. 140 of 1999 was valid despite the appellant's claims of lack of notice and jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the appellant, having purchased the property after the suit was filed, could not challenge the decree on grounds of fraud or collusion. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the decree-holder's right to execute the decree under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, and dismissed the appeal, maintaining the status of the decree as legal and executable.
