Teekam (Since Deceased) Through His Lrs – Appellant

Mehar Chand Saini – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
Nidhi Gupta, J.
The defendants No. 1 and 3 are in Second Appeal against the concurrent judgments and decrees of the learned Courts below; whereby the suit filed by the plaintiffs/respondents No. 1 and 2 herein, for declaration with consequential relief of permanent injunction, has been decreed by both the Courts below.

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.
The courts upheld the validity of a sale deed executed by a relative, finding no proof of ownership or possession by the appellant, thus affirming the dismissal of the appeal.
