G.Mahalingappa vs G.M. Savitha

The Supreme Court addressed the ownership dispute over a house purchased in the name of a minor daughter under a registered sale deed dated 24th August 1970. The Court held that the property was indeed purchased for the benefit of the daughter, establishing that a father can create rights in favor of his child through a benami transaction. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision that the daughter was entitled to possession of the property as it was intended as security for her marriage and her own property.
