Hiba Requires Delivery of Possession of Entire Property | Registered Gift Deed Void for Non-Delivery : Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh HC upheld the trial court's declaration that a registered gift deed was void under Muslim law where donees failed to prove effective delivery of possession of the entire property. The ruling confirms registration alone cannot perfect a Hiba without actual delivery, and affirmed a permanent injunction protecting the plaintiffs' settled possession.
