JOSEPH JOHAN PETER SANDY vs VERONICA THOMAS RAJKUMAR

The Supreme Court examined the validity of settlement deeds executed under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, specifically addressing the enforceability of an unregistered agreement for property exchange. The Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the trial court's decree, emphasizing that the rectification deed executed by the parties was valid and binding. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the trial court's judgment in favor of the appellant, affirming the appellant's rights to the property in question.
