Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the trial court and the High Court that late Mariyambi failed to prove the existence of an oral gift, as she did not testify to support her claim and the Sale Deed from 1978 did not establish her title based on the alleged gift. The Court emphasized the necessity of evidence to substantiate claims of oral gifts, affirming the lower courts' decisions due to lack of counter evidence. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the lower courts' rulings.
