Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the sale deeds executed by Dharam Singh in favor of Harpal Kaur were invalid due to lack of consideration, as both parties admitted no monetary transaction occurred. The Court emphasized that property classified as coparcenary cannot be sold without the consent of all coparceners, thus ruling the sale deeds null and void. The appeal was allowed, and the order of the Punjab & Haryana High Court was set aside, reinstating the Appellant's rights over the suit property under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956.
