P.K. MOHANRAM vs B.N. ANANTHACHARY .

The Supreme Court analyzed the validity of a Settlement Deed executed by Shri K. Perumal Iyer, which included a negative covenant preventing the settlor from revoking the deed. The Court held that the negative covenant was binding and that the settlor's subsequent Revocation Deed and Will were invalid. The Court reversed the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's partition suit, affirming the appellant's right to a 1/17th share in the property as per the terms of the Settlement Deed, thereby allowing the appeal.
