Sadhu Singh vs Gurdwara Sahib Narike & Ors

The Supreme Court held that Isher Kaur, having received property under her husband's will, only held a life estate and could not gift the property to a Gurdwara. The Court emphasized that Section 14(2) of the Hindu Succession Act applies, which restricts the rights of a limited owner, thus affirming that Isher Kaur's rights did not expand to absolute ownership under Section 14(1). The Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the lower appellate court's ruling that the appellant was entitled to recover possession of the property after Isher Kaur's death.
