Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of a gift deed executed by Raja Bai in favor of Sureshchandra under Section 123 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, affirming that the deed was duly executed and attested. The Court rejected the appellant's claims regarding the revocation of the gift deed by a subsequent Will, emphasizing that the appellant could not raise new contentions not presented in lower courts. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's decision that the gift deed was effective and the appellant had no rights to the property.
