GIAN CHAND KAPUR (DEAD) BY LRS. vs RABINDRA MOHAN KAPUR & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting the plaintiffs a one-third share in the property, as the original gift made by Chander Mohan to Gian Chand was valid and the subsequent award constituted a family settlement that did not confer any rights to the plaintiffs. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs had no interest in the property since the gift and the award clearly excluded them from any share. Consequently, the appeal by defendant No. 1 was allowed, reversing the High Court's decree.
