The dispute originated after Bairappa executed a release deed in January 2025, expecting his daughter to provide care in his old age, only for her to mutate the title and abandon him. The daughter unsuccessfully claimed she had bought the property using Rs 7.25 lakh in cash paid to her brothers, but the court identified glaring inconsistencies in her documentation, including a payment receipt citing a will that did not yet exist. Justice Suraj Govindaraj dismissed her petition to validate the deed on October 14, 2026, ordering the land returned to her father.
