JUDGMENT :
SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM, J.
The captioned appeal is by the subsequent transferee who has questioned the judgment and decree rendered in O.S.No.47/2011, wherein the trial Court has decreed the suit thereby declaring the deed of cancellation dated 18.12.2007 executed by defendant No.1 and consequent sale deeds dated 28.06.2008 and 20.11.2010 entered into between defendant Nos.1, 3 and 4 as void documents. These sale deeds are accordingly set aside. The present appellant wh
A registered General Power of Attorney, if unchallenged, retains legal effect, and deeds executed thereunder are valid despite subsequent allegations of fabrication.
A minor can be a transferee of property, and a sale deed executed in their favor is valid despite their incapacity to contract.
Allegations of fraud in property transfers must be substantiated with specific, credible evidence; failing which claims may be dismissed.
The judgment emphasizes the importance of timely and proper legal action, and the need for plaintiffs to make clear and consistent pleadings to support their claims.
In a suit for declaration of title, the burden lies on the plaintiff to establish their title, and failure to do so results in dismissal, regardless of the defendants' claims.
The burden of proof rests on the party asserting forgery, and co-ownership entitles plaintiffs to seek declarations without claiming separate possession.
Agents may execute sale deeds within their authority; failure to set aside such deeds results in enforceability. Remedies against breaches of power are financial rather than reclaiming properties.
The burden of proof regarding the validity of executory documents lies with the party alleging their legitimacy in property disputes.
