Suraj Narain Kapoor vs Pradeep Kumar .

The Supreme Court held that the document in question, Exhibit-A1, was a mortgage by conditional sale under Section 58(C) of the Transfer of Property Act, despite the High Court's contrary finding. The Court emphasized that the intention of the parties to create a mortgage was evident from the right to redemption included in the document, which fulfilled statutory requirements. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the decrees of the trial court and first appellate court, affirming the plaintiff's right to redeem the mortgage.
