VISHWANATH BAPURAO SABALE vs SHALINIBAI NAGAPPA SABALE .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of property transactions executed by Bapurao in 1955, including a deed of partition and sale to Shivappa, which were alleged to be sham transactions aimed at evading creditors. The Court held that the agreements executed were not valid as they contravened the principles of Hindu law regarding property rights and adoption, specifically under the Bombay School of Hindu Law. The judgment of the High Court was upheld, affirming the plaintiff's entitlement to the property as the legal heir of Shivappa.
