8 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (Civil)....../2013 CC 9324/2013 MANGARI Petitioner VERSUS SARDAR & ORS. Respondent O R D E R Delay condoned. The courts below have concurrently upheld the validity of the sale deed executed by the petitioner. However, the only question that could have been considered by this Court is whether the land in question could legally be purchased by the respondents without obtaining permission from the Competent Authority as the land in question belongs to the petitioner who is from a Scheduled Caste category. However, this point although was never raised before the Courts below, we thought it appropriate, in the interest of justice, to ascertain whether the purchasers also belong to a Scheduled Caste category and it has been stated that purchasers are also from the same category. In that view, the transaction of sale and purchase between the parties cannot be assailed on the ground that the transaction was illegal. Thus, the special leave petition has no merits, hence it is dismissed. ........................J. (GYAN SUDHA MISRA) ........................J. (J.
