Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision reversing the appellate court's ruling, affirming that the plaintiff, Smt. Bannamma, holds title to the suit property under the Karnataka Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (Regulation) Act. The Court established that the second defendant, her son, could not sell the property without her consent, as it was her stridhan property inherited from her father. The Court dismissed the defendants' claims, emphasizing that the sale deed obtained by the first defendant was invalid due to lack of proper title from the second defendant.
