Section 7 Transfer of Property Act | Fraudulent Sale by Unauthorized Person Void Ab Initio, Res Judicata Inapplicable: Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court holds that a sale deed executed by an unauthorized person under fraud is void ab initio, nullifying all subsequent judicial decrees. The ruling reinforces that fraud vitiates all legal proceedings, including those attaining finality, and res judicata does not apply to void transactions.
