Madras HC Restores 36 Cents Land to Brothers Over Invalid Oral Gift
The Madras High Court ruled that a 36-cent land gift to a sister was invalid as it lacked a registered deed, a requirement under Hindu law. The sister's husband sold the land based on this oral gift, but the brothers contested the sale. Justice R. Sakthivel ruled on September 2, 2026, that the gift and subsequent sale were invalid, restoring the land to the brothers.
