Ramesh Kumar & Anr vs Furu Ram & Anr. Etc

The Supreme Court held that the agreements and decrees obtained by the respondents were null and void due to fraud and misrepresentation, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that consent obtained under false pretenses cannot be upheld, referencing Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, which invalidates agreements that are opposed to public policy. The Court ruled in favor of the appellants, declaring the arbitration awards and subsequent decrees as non-est and restoring their ownership rights over the land.
