Akula Madhava Rao And Anr. vs P. Rukmini Bai on 8 August, 1995
In Rakkiyana v. Chinnu (1 supra), the Madras High Court also held that it is open to a person to prove that he executed a sale deed benami in favour of B in order to defeat the claims of a creditor. In such a case, the question really is not one under Section 92 of the Evidence Act regarding proof of a collateral oral agreement under which B was to hold the property for the benefit of the transferor, but a case where the transferor sought to establish by attendant circumstances that he did not intend by his deed to dispose of the beneficial interest in the property to the transferee.
