Judgment :
This second appeal has been preferred against the reversing judgment.
The respondents in this second appeal were the defendants before the Trial Court in the suit vide T.S. No.38 of 1988.
3. The suit of the plaintiff (appellant in this second appeal) before the Trial Court vide T.S. No.38 of 1988 against the defendants (respondents in this second appeal) was a suit for permanent injunction in alternative to declare that, the sale deed executed by the defendant No.1 in favour of the defendant No.2 in respect of the suit properties as null, void and not binding upo
A co-owner can validly sell their share in joint properties, and the sale deed cannot be declared void if it is within the extent of the seller's interest.
A co-owner can validly alienate their undivided share in joint property, and unilateral cancellation of a sale deed is legally ineffective unless supported by substantial evidence.
A suit for declaration of title over undivided property without partition is not maintainable, reaffirming the necessity of establishing specific ownership for claims over joint property.
The sale of a co-owner's undivided interest is valid, but a sale deed executed without legal necessity or co-owner consent is void.
Joint ownership claims persist until partition; rights in a partition suit are not bound by limitation, and the burden to prove legal necessity for property transfer lies with the transferee.
A non-party to a sale deed lacks the standing to challenge it based on non-passing of consideration or legal necessity, as established by precedents.
The sale deed executed without legal necessity and consideration does not bind the joint family properties, affirming the plaintiffs' entitlement to a share.
The distinction between judgment in rem and judgment in personam, and the binding nature of judgment in rem on anyone claiming interest in the property.
Pre-emption rights under Section 22 of the Hindu Succession Act cannot be invoked by non-Class I heirs after property partition and are valid until declared otherwise by a competent court.
