'Gift of
property by a Muslim need not be registered'

New Delhi: A gift of
immovable property made by a Muslim is valid even if it is not
registered under the Transfer of Property Act or the Stamps and
Registration Act, the Supreme Court today ruled.
The apex court said though the TP Act mandates registration of a
gift, the same would not apply to a Muslim donor as the community
has been exempted from the provision.
A bench of justices R M Lodha and S S Nijjar in a judgement
quashed a ruling of the Andhra Pradesh High Court that the
property gifted by late Shaik Dawood to one of his sons Mohammed
Yakub was not valid as it was not registered under the law.
