Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision confirming the Trial Court's decree regarding the partition of property under Mohammedan law. It was held that a partition of property during the owner's lifetime requires a written registered document, and the essential requisites for a valid gift were not conclusively proven. The Court affirmed that oral gifts are not recognized under Mohammedan law without proper documentation, leading to the dismissal of the defendants' appeals.
