ASHOK KUMAR vs DARSHAN SINGH . — SLP(C) No. 12538/2009

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Ashok Kumar's special leave petition challenging the Uttarakhand High Court's judgment dated 9 April 2008. Kumar had filed a suit seeking specific performance of a land sale agreement dated 26 August 1994 with Darshan Singh for Rs. 60,000, claiming he paid Rs. 30,000 advance. While the trial court decreed the suit, the lower appellate court reversed it, finding that Darshan Singh had validly sold the property to Tejpal Singh and Raj Bala (bona fide purchasers without notice) via registered deed dated 8 September 1994. The Supreme Court upheld this finding as a pure question of fact based on correct analysis of evidence and pleadings, and found no error warranting interference.
