JUDGMENT :
ASHOK S. KINAGI, J.
1. This Regular Second Appeal is filed by the appellant challenging the judgment and decree dated 10.07.2013 passed in RA No. 293 of 2009 by the Principal District Judge, Hassan.
2. For convenience, the parties are referred to based on their ranking before the trial Court. The appellant was the defendant and the respondent was the plaintiff.
3. Brief facts leading rise to the filing of this appeal are as follows.

The court emphasized the necessity of procedural fairness in appellate proceedings, ruling that irregularities void a judgment and necessitate remand for retrial without merits adjudication.
The plaintiff must establish how fraud was committed and the relevance of consensus ad idem in executing the sale deed in a property dispute.
Non-payment of part of sale consideration does not invalidate a registered sale deed; title passes at execution regardless of payment status.
The main legal point established in the judgment is that sale deeds executed in violation of an injunction order are void, and the doctrine of lis pendens applies to such transactions.
The court affirmed that a sale deed executed with authority is valid unless fraud or coercion is proven, and claims must be filed within a statute of limitations.
