NASIB KAUR vs SURAT SINGH (D)THRU LRS .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of ownership and possession of land in relation to a sale deed under the Transfer of Property Act. The Court held that the absence of specific khasra numbers in the sale deed rendered the subsequent sale by the defendants invalid, as they had no right to sell the land without proper specification. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, affirming the trial court's decision to correct the mutation entries while maintaining the status quo of possession until partition proceedings were initiated.
