Muslim Personal Law | Oral Partition Invalid During Father's Lifetime; Hiba Must Be Specifically Pled and Proven Under CPC Order VI Rule 4 : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court holds that under Muslim Personal Law, a father’s oral partition of property during his lifetime has no legal effect, and any claim of Hiba (gift) requires specific pleading and concrete proof-mutation entries alone cannot establish title. This ruling reinforces procedural rigor in property disputes involving Muslim heirs and closes loopholes for revenue record-based title claims.
