Pooran Singh vs Dhaniram (Since Dead) Thr. Legal Heirs

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a sale deed executed by a member of a Scheduled Tribe in favor of a non-tribal individual. The court held that the sale was void ab initio under the provisions of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, which prohibits the transfer of agricultural land by members of Scheduled Tribes to non-tribals. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the sale deed could not be enforced.
