BALMUKUND S. BHARUKA (DEAD) BY LRS. vs SHANKARLAL G. KHANDELWAL (DEAD)BY LRS. — C.A. No. 4867/1999

Summary of C.A. No. 004867/1999 The Supreme Court partly allowed the appeal regarding a 1972 land sale dispute in Malkapur. The trial court had found the sale deed was a nominal transaction (security for a Rs. 10,000 loan), but the first appellate court reversed this, treating it as absolute sale. The High Court re-appreciated evidence without properly framing questions of law on perversity. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remanded the case for fresh disposal, directing the High Court to decide afresh and frame proper questions of law if raising perversity issues.
