Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of oral hiba in the context of property transfer, affirming that such transfers can be valid if properly established. The Court held that the findings of the Trial Court and lower appellate Court, which upheld the validity of the oral hiba and the landlord-tenant relationship, were not perverse and should not have been overturned by the High Court. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the lower courts' decisions regarding ownership and possession of the property.
