Abdul Kafoor And Anr. vs Abdul Razack And Anr. on 18 April, 1958

After ferring to the view expressed by the Madras High Court in Abdul Kafoor v. Abdul Razack (supra) as to the enforcement of a renunciation by an expectant heir in the lifetime of his ancestor, the Supreme Court held, "This is a correct statement, so far as it goes, of the law, because a bare renunciation of an expectation to inherit cannot bind the expectant heir's conduct in future. But, if the expectant heir goes further and receives consideration and so conducts himself as to mislead an owner into not making dispositions of his property inter vivos the expectant heir could be debarred from setting up his right when it does unquestionably vest in him. In other words, the principle of estoppel remains untouched by this statement".

Kodimaniandra Deviah (supra) that the above principle would apply with equal vehemence in regard to estoppel under Sec.115 of the Act as well. Hence Sec.6(a) of the T.P. Act or the relevant provision of Mohammedan Law prohibiting transfer by an heir-apparent of the chance of succeeding to an estate will not, and need not stand in the way of the court considering the S.A. NO.624 of 1998 -: 13 :- application of rule of estoppel in a suitable situation. While holding so I also bear in mind the principle laid down in Section 38 of Mulla's Principles of Mohammedan Law, 18th Edn. which states, "38. Rules of Equity. The rules of equity and equitable considerations commonly recognised in courts of equity in England are not foreign to the Mussulman system, but are in fact often referred to and invoked in the adjudication of cases under that system".
