Not just a purchase (2017)

Behram entered into an agreement with Ahsan to purchase a real estate property. Ahsan was implied to be acting on behalf of the true owners of the property. Behram paid for the property, took its possession and the title of ownership was transferred to his name. The true owners approached the court seeking to regain ownership of the property as Ahsan was not acting on their behalf while carrying out the transaction. Trial court accepted the plea of the true owners and ordered for annulment of the transaction and ordered Ahsan to pay back the full amount of transaction along with interest for the period.

High Court upheld the original decision of the trial court.
