MAHENDRA YADAV vs OM PRAKASH — C.A. No. 8115/2009

Case Summary: C.A. No. 008115/2009 (Mahendra Yadav v. Om Prakash) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Mahendra Yadav's appeal on September 12, 2017, affirming the lower courts' decisions. The court held that a compromise deed transferring property to Yadav violated Section 18 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, because the defendant Om Prakash had already parted with his property interest by selling portions to third parties (Bandana Devi Sharma) via registered sale deeds dated 1995 and 1997. Once property interest was transferred, Prakash could not make admissions conferring title on another party. Next Steps: The case was remanded to the trial court to decide the matter on merits without being influenced by prior appellate orders, though no specific timeline was provided.
