S.Sarojini Amma vs Velayudhan Pillai Sreekumar

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a document styled as a gift deed executed for consideration, which was to take effect after the donor's death. The Court held that such a document, retaining possession and rights for the donor, does not constitute a valid gift under Section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, as it fails to meet the criteria of a voluntary transfer without consideration. The judgment of the Kerala High Court was set aside, affirming the lower court's decree in favor of the appellant.
