Supreme Court Upholds 1957 Sale Deed, Ends 70-Year Haridwar Land Dispute
The Supreme Court upheld a 1957 registered sale deed, resolving a 70-year land dispute over 15.5 bighas in Haridwar involving four generations of a family. The appellants, whose predecessors were minors at purchase, had possession and mutation rights since 1984. Lower courts and the Uttarakhand High Court had invalidated the deed citing the UP Zamindari Abolition Act and proof issues, but the Supreme Court overturned these rulings, affirming the deed's validity and ending the prolonged litigation.
