Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the plaintiff's suit for declaration of title and recovery of possession under Section 100-A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court held that the plaintiff, as a bona fide purchaser without notice, was entitled to the property despite the defendant's claim of an agreement of sale under Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the plaintiff's title was upheld, allowing her to recover possession of the property.
