Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decree declaring the order dated 28.03.1985 under The Punjab Package Deal Properties (Disposal) Act, 1976 as null and void, affirming that the plaintiffs were bonafide purchasers of the suit land. The Court emphasized that the auction conditions were breached, leading to the cancellation of the auction, and thus the plaintiffs' rights were protected. The appeal by the legal heirs of the deceased defendant was dismissed, maintaining the plaintiffs' possession and ownership rights over the land.
