Mohammad Hafizullah & Ors vs Javed Akhtar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing Smt. Kanak Nahar to sell her one-fourth share of property to Javed Akhtar and Parvez Akhtar, emphasizing that the consent decree from 1957 permitted such a sale to resolve ongoing litigation. The Court noted that the sale was reasonable given the impossibility of dividing the property by metes and bounds, and that the High Court's order was in line with the interests of all parties involved. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings and the validity of the sale.
