Suraj Pal (D) Thr. Lrs. vs Ram Manorath

The Supreme Court held that under Section 5(c)(ii) of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, permission from the Settlement Officer (Consolidation) is not required for the sale of land declared 'Chakout' and outside the consolidation scheme. The Court affirmed the appellate court's decision that the sale deed was void due to lack of necessary permission, but clarified that the learned Single Judge's review was justified as it addressed an apparent error regarding the land's status. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's ruling.
