Registration Of Gift Not Required Under Mohammedan Law : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has ruled that the registration of a gift under Mohammedan Law is not required. The case involved a dispute over the validity of a gift made under Islamic personal law, where the donor's family claimed that the gift was not valid due to a lack of formal registration. The court held that under Mohammedan Law, a gift (Hiba) does not require registration to be legally valid. This ruling provides clarity on the legal position regarding gifts under Islamic law and reinforces the traditional understanding that oral gifts, when made in accordance with Islamic principles, do not require registration to be enforceable.
