The burden of proof lies on the person asserting a fact until it is discharged, and no party can travel beyond its pleading.
A gift deed executed by a party without valid title is void; ownership must be established through a registered document as per the Transfer of Property Act.
An unregistered gift deed does not confer title to real property, necessitating proper registration and the inclusion of all necessary parties in a suit for declaration.
A registered owner's title cannot be defeated by fraudulent claims of death and misrepresentation by family members regarding property ownership.
Section 111 of Evidence Act States as proof of good faith in transactions where one party is in relation of active confidence.
A settlement deed executed and registered holds presumptive validity unless proven contrary; properties held in the name of a female are presumed self-acquired unless evidence suggests otherwise.
The plaintiff failed to prove joint ownership of the property or contribution to its acquisition, affirming that self-acquired property cannot be claimed as joint without evidence.
