Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the trial court regarding the validity of a gift deed executed by Smt. Soman in favor of her daughters, Smt. Joginderd and Smt. Chhindo, under Section 123 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The Court ruled that the defendants, who claimed ownership based on a mutation in revenue records, could not establish their claim as Smt. Soman retained her rights over the property despite her alleged remarriage. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the plaintiffs' entitlement to the land.
