Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of a sale deed executed by Jamni and Debku, affirming that they had the right to sell the property inherited from Hari Ram under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The Court ruled that the family arrangement and subsequent transactions were legally sound, and the plaintiffs Kharia and Delu could not claim ownership as they had no subsisting rights post the partition and sale. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision that the sale deed was valid and binding.
