Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision restoring the Trial Court's decree, affirming that the sale deed executed on 6th June 1975 conveyed ownership of the entire land measuring 71 kanals 8 marlas, despite the first defendant's claim of a 1/3rd share. The Court emphasized that the registered sale deed's description prevails over any prior agreements or interpolations made before registration, citing the principle established in Ram Saran Lall v. Domini Kuer. The Court concluded that the correction made in the sale deed was not valid, thus confirming the plaintiff's ownership rights under the relevant property laws.
