Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings of the lower courts that the decree dated 29.07.1983 in Civil Suit No. 18 of 1983 was illegal and collusive, thus not binding on the plaintiffs. The Court emphasized that the decree effectively transferred property rights without a valid sale deed, as it was obtained through collusion between the parties. The Court confirmed that the plaintiffs, having purchased the property from the original owner, Jaspal Singh, were bona fide purchasers for valuable consideration, and thus entitled to the relief sought.
