Though in sale deed concerned no condition as stipulated in S. 58(c) of TP Act was incorporated, held, reading together the sale deed and the subsequent agreement executed on same day, courts below rightly held that the sale deed was executed only as a security for repayment of loan and plaintiff never intended to sell the property to defendants. More so, where sale consideration mentioned in sale deed was inadequate in comparison to market value of property at relevant time. Consequently, since plaintiff paid back the loan amount i.e. Rs 6700 (as was evident from subsequent agreement dt. 5-6-1974), courts below rightly opined that sale deed was not binding on plaintiff. Plaintiff entitled to declaration of sale deed as null and void. [Ramvilas v.
