“The recent Supreme Court verdict allowing a legal heir in constructive possession to sell inherited property without unanimous consent is a landmark step toward simplifying real estate transactions in India. It offers much-needed clarity and relief in situations where prolonged disputes among heirs have historically delayed or derailed legitimate deals. This move not only empowers rightful stakeholders but also brings greater confidence to genuine buyers and investors. As an industry, we welcome this progressive judgment that balances legal responsibility with commercial practicality.”
