Azrith Bivi & Anr vs Chinnathambi(Dead) Through Lrs

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an oral hiba under Islamic law, affirming that such a transfer of property is valid if made with the intention to gift and is accepted by the donee. The Court held that the findings of the Trial Court and the lower appellate Court regarding the ownership and possession of the property were correct, and the High Court's reversal was unjustified. The appeal was allowed, restoring the decrees of the lower courts in favor of the plaintiffs under the principles of property law and Islamic succession.
