Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision dismissing the plaintiff's suit regarding the ancestral property, citing the Punjab Custom (Power to Contest) Act, 1920. The Court established that a father can sell ancestral property without the consent of his son if there is legal necessity, and the sale was executed for valid consideration. The Court affirmed that the defendants were bona fide purchasers and the sale deed was binding, thus rejecting the plaintiff's claims.
