Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision which had reversed the trial and appellate courts' findings regarding the validity of a General Power of Attorney (GPA) executed by the plaintiff. The Court held that the GPA was executed under undue influence and without proper consent, thus rendering the subsequent sale deeds invalid. The Court reinstated the trial court's decree in favor of the plaintiff, affirming her rights over the property in question.
