MANOHARAN vs SIVARAJAN .

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's claim for re-conveyance of property based on an agreement with the money lender was valid under the principles of contract law. The Court emphasized that the execution of the sale deed and the subsequent agreement for re-conveyance created enforceable rights. However, the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal due to delay was upheld, as the appellant failed to provide sufficient explanation for the delay in filing the appeal, thus affirming the lower court's decision.
