RAMESH CHAND (D) THR.LRS. vs SURESH CHAND — C.A. No. 6377/2012

Case Summary: Ramesh Chand (D) THR.LRS. v. Suresh Chand Court Decision: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, set aside the High Court's judgment, and dismissed the plaintiff's suit for possession and title. Key Reasoning: The Court held that an agreement to sell, general power of attorney, receipt, and registered will—without an actual registered sale deed—do not confer valid title to immovable property under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The will was found not properly proved as required by law (attesting witnesses not examined), and the plaintiff lacked possession to claim benefits under Section 53A. Since the father's succession opened upon his death, legal heirs are entitled to the property, not the plaintiff based on disputed documents.
