Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' revision against the Civil Judge's order regarding the amendment of the plaint in a land dispute case. The Court emphasized that the compromise deed executed in 1972, which restricted Khuda Bux's rights to alienate the land, was binding and valid under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The Court affirmed that the sale deed executed by Khuda Bux in 1986 was void as it contravened the terms of the compromise, thus maintaining the status quo of the property rights among the heirs.
