REVANSIDDAYAYYA vs GANGAMMA @ SHASHIKALA .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant possession of the suit land to the respondents, the legal heirs of the original owner, Veerabasayya, based on the expiration of the sale agreement dated 06.11.1986 due to efflux of time and the appellant's failure to execute the sale deed. The Court emphasized that mere possession under an expired agreement does not confer ownership rights, thereby affirming the legal principle that ownership is determined by inheritance and not by unexecuted agreements. The appeal by the appellant was dismissed, confirming the High Court's modification of the Trial Court's decree.
