Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the gift deed executed by Motilal Gopalji in favor of the respondent was incomplete and could be cancelled, as the donor had not delivered possession and the donee had not accepted the gift. The Court emphasized that a document must be read harmoniously to ascertain the true intention of the parties involved. The Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, confirming the respondent's title to the property and the inoperability of the subsequent will executed by the donor, thereby dismissing the appeal.
