BASAPPA . vs GOWRAMMA — C.A. No. 4730/2007

Case Summary: Basappa v. Gowramma (C.A. No. 004730/2007) On 01/09/2011, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal by Basappa and another against Gowramma. The appellants had sued for specific performance of a re-conveyance agreement after borrowing Rs. 1500 for their sister's marriage and executing a sale deed in 1976, with a separate agreement to reconvey the property within six years upon repayment. Though appellants paid the amount within six years, the respondent refused reconveyance. The Trial Court decreed the suit, but the lower appellate court and High Court dismissed it, finding the sale deed was not a conditional mortgage. The Supreme Court reversed both lower courts, holding that the valid separate re-conveyance agreement executed on the same date as the sale deed was enforceable, and restored the Trial Court's judgment.
