Madras High Court:<\/strong> While disposing of an appeal filed under Section 96 of the Code of Civil\u00a0Procedure, 1908 the Single Bench of R.M.T. Teekaa Raman, J. held that a gift by a father to his\u00a0minor child can be accepted by child\u2019s mother under the Mohammedan Law.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The plaintiff had filed a suit for partition and for permanent injunction against the defendants\u00a0restraining them from alienating the suit properties. The plaintiff contended that suit properties\u00a0were acquired by Hashim Saheb who possessed the same till he died intestate on 12.06.2004. The plaintiff and the third defendant were daughters, \u00a0Defendants 1 and 2 were sons and the fourth defendant was the widow of Hashim Saheb. The trial court found that Hashim Bai had executed\u00a0a gift settlement in respect of most of the suit properties to his sons and thereby refused the relief\u00a0of partition as claimed by the plaintiff. The plaintiff, in appeal, contended that at the time of\u00a0execution of the Gift Deeds, the second defendant was minor and his mother had represented on\u00a0his behalf and hence the same was not valid as under Mohammedan law women have no rights to\u00a0act as guardian.<\/p>\n

The High Court noted that Section 359 of Mulla’s Principles of Mohammedan Law which governs the\u00a0guardianship of the property of the minors, describes that only the father or father’s father can act\u00a0as a guardian. Further, the general rule under Section 156 requires that a gift to a minor by a person\u00a0other than his father or guardian will be completed by delivery of possession to the father or\u00a0guardian. However, the instant case falls under Section 155 which omits the requirement of\u00a0transfer of possession when a father gifts property to his child. On a conjoint reading of Section\u00a0155 with that of Section 359, the Court concluded that when mother was the only person who\u00a0could look after the interest of the minor, acceptance of the gift by the mother was not invalid, and\u00a0in such cases, the completion of the gift for his benefit is to be the sole consideration.
