#Regular Second Appeal

When a sale certificate evidences ownership, the Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that factual findings on land title cannot be disturbed, and that jamabandi entries alone do not constitute proof of title. This safeguards owners relying on registered sale deeds against adverse claims based solely on revenue records.

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.
