Jagannath (Dead) Thru Lrs. & Ors vs Sundarbai(Dead) Through Lr. & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the sale deed executed by Sundar Bai in favor of Jagannath was invalid due to lack of legal necessity and undue influence, as established under the principles of contract law and the Indian Succession Act. The Court found that the High Court's conclusions regarding the absence of legal necessity were justified based on the evidence presented, particularly noting that the sale was for a minimal amount compared to the value of the property. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that the sale deed was void.
