Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that an unregistered gift deed under Muslim law does not convey any title to the property, as per the requirements of registration under the Registration Act, 1908. The Court emphasized that a gift must be registered to be valid and binding, thereby affirming the High Court's decision to set aside the trial court's decree. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's ruling that the unregistered gift deed dated February 5, 1968 was invalid.
