Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming that the sale deed executed by Nirmala Murthy in favor of the Appellants was vitiated by fraud, as she never intended to sell the property. The Court emphasized that the Will dated 07.06.1995 granted her only a life interest, and thus, she lacked the authority to execute the sale deed. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeals, affirming that Respondent No. 1 was not bound by the sale deed.
