Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that there is no legal presumption that a Hindu female does not receive an absolute or alienable interest in immovable property granted to her, as established in the case of Mohamed Shumsool v. Shewakram and others. The Court clarified that the same rules apply to both males and females regarding property grants, and the absence of express limitations does not negate the absolute nature of the gift. The appeal was allowed, affirming the absolute interest of the female donee in the property.
