Benami Transaction against valid sale is not permissible

the Supreme Court in R.Rajagopal Reddy v P.Chandrasekharan AIR 1996 SC 238 under Section 4(2) of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988, no defence will be permitted or allowed in any suit against the person in whose name, the property is held or against any other person.  Therefore, when the property, admittedly, was held by the first defendant under valid sale, the plaintiffs or the second defendant cannot be permitted to raise the plea that their father purchased the suit schedule property in the name of their mother, the first defendant.
