Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an unregistered gift deed under Section 123 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, ruling that such a deed cannot confer title. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the trial court's decree, emphasizing that the absence of registration renders the gift invalid. Consequently, the matter was remitted back to the trial court for a preliminary decree regarding the partition of properties.
