In Brief
In this property dispute, plaintiff no. 1 challenged a sub-judge's decree that awarded possession of land to defendants 1-3, arguing that a sale deed he had executed in favour of defendants 4-10 for the same land was valid and binding. The trial court, first appellate court, and second appellate court all found the sub-judge's decree did not bind the plaintiff. The Supreme Court upheld these concurrent findings, holding that a valid sale deed takes precedence and cannot be negated by a subsequent decree. The appeal was dismissed.
