Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the Municipal Committee's appeal regarding the execution of a sale deed for land sold at auction. The court found that the respondent-plaintiff had established title and possession based on the auction conducted in 1999 and the subsequent resolution by the Municipal Committee to execute the sale deed. The court ruled that the Municipal Committee's failure to execute the deed constituted a breach of duty, affirming the lower court's decision to grant a mandatory injunction in favor of the plaintiff.
