Eknath Damodhar Zope vs Smt.Kasturabai Pandhari Dandale & 6 Ors on 31 October, 2017
It is well settled that the execution of a gift deed by a
co-parcener in respect of joint family property would be void. This
has been so held in Thamma Venkata (supra) and Shivappa
Malappa Isapuri (supra). On the basis of such void document,
defendant no.1 and 3 did not get any valid title to the suit
property. It continued to remain joint family property. It is thus
clear that on the basis of this gift deed at Exhibit-108, defendant
nos.1 and 3 did not get any valid title to the suit property for the
same to be transferred in favour of the defendant no.4.
