📌TRANSFER OF PROPERTY ACT, 1882 – CHAPTERS II AND VII-Law of gift – Gift by a co-parcener of his undivided interest to another co-parcener or to a stranger without the consent of other co-parcener – Legality of –
📌HELD,
Gift by a co-parcener of his undivided co-parcenary interest to another co-parcener or to stranger without the consent of other co-parcener is void.
📌FURTHER HELD,
The law is thus well settled that the manager has no absolute power of disposal over joint Hindu family property. The Hindu law permits him to do so only within strict limits. The scope of the power cannot be extended on the basis of the wide interpretation given to the words “pious purposes” in Hindu Law in a different context. Therefore, a gift to a stranger or relative of a joint family out of love and affection by the manager of the family is void.
