The case involves a property dispute over two properties ('A' Schedule and 'B' Schedule) in Pondicherry. The appellant, Raju Naidu, entered into a sale agreement for the 'B' Schedule property with the father of respondents 1-8, despite ongoing legal proceedings regarding ownership. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding no merit in the appellant's claims. It ruled that an appellate court's decree supersedes the trial court's decree, regardless of whether it affirms, modifies, or reverses the original ruling.
