VASANTHI vs VENUGOPAL (D) THR. LRS.

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the appellant'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 appellant, as a bona fide purchaser without notice of any prior agreement, was entitled to protection under Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and that the respondent's claim of prior possession based on an unregistered agreement was untenable. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the appellant's title was affirmed.
