In Brief
The appellant purchased one acre of non-agricultural land from the father of the respondents via a registered sale deed dated 23 February 1987 for Rs 15,000. When the respondents interfered with the appellant's possession, the appellant sought perpetual injunction; the respondents simultaneously sought to void the sale deed. The lower courts and High Court found the property was joint family property sold without legal necessity. The appellant failed to prove the sale's necessity, and the attester did not support the deed's execution. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's direction to return the property subject to refund of sale consideration."
