#registered gift deed

Bombay High Court rules that a nominee under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act holds only provisional membership, which is subordinate to a registered gift deed establishing legal title. The judgment clarifies that nomination does not confer ownership, impacting property disputes involving co-operative society flats and inheritance claims.

Chhattisgarh High Court holds that entries in record of rights carry statutory presumption of correctness; unregistered gift deeds cannot transfer title under Transfer of Property Act.
