Benami Property in Matrimonial Disputes | Possession Must Be Preserved Until Due Process: Allahabad HC

Allahabad HC rules that in benami property disputes between spouses, the party in possession at the time of suit cannot be forcibly dispossessed without due process, even if the property is registered in the other spouse's name. The court emphasized the need to maintain status quo to prevent irreparable harm, reinforcing protections under civil law for contested assets.
