Kusum Harilal Soni vs Chandrika Nandlal Mehta & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of execution of a decree under the Bombay Rent Act, 1947, specifically Section 13A(2), holding that the transfer of Flat No. 408 by respondent no. 1 to respondent no. 2 was fraudulent and aimed at defeating the appellant's right to compensation and possession. The Court emphasized that unregistered agreements, like the one in question, lack legal validity and cannot be used to circumvent lawful orders. The Court upheld the appellant's right to enforce the eviction order and compensation, thereby setting aside the High Court's order that had previously allowed the transfer.
