Vasantha (Dead) Thr. L.R. vs Rajalakshmi @ Rajam (Dead) Thr. Lrs.

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of multiple settlement deeds executed by Thayammal concerning property rights. The Court held that the First Settlement Deed, which granted rights to Saroja, was valid and created vested rights that could not be extinguished by subsequent deeds. The Court affirmed the lower court's ruling that Gopalakrishnan, as the sole heir of Saroja, had rightful claims to the property, thereby reversing the High Court's decision that favored the subsequent settlement deeds.
