Co-owners cannot unilaterally lease or transfer undivided property without the consent of all parties involved. Such transactions are generally invalid if consent is absent, emphasizing the necessity of mutual agreement for property dealings among joint owners.

Leases and Transfers Requiring Consent
Leases of property, especially in cases involving family or traditional arrangements (e.g., tarwad or marumakkathayam families), require written consent from all major or majority members. Without such consent, leases or alienations are deemed invalid. A.M.PADMINI AMMA vs VIJAYALAKSHMI AMMA - Kerala, Shikha Bhowmick VS State of Odisha - Orissa
Property Leases and Licenses
Granting licenses or permits over joint property without the consent of all co-sharers or joint owners is invalid. Courts have held that such acts violate the principle of mutual consent necessary for lawful dealings in joint property. Ghissu VS Hashim Ali - Allahabad, Ferdous Estates Private Limited represented by Director vs State of Tamilnadu represented by its Principal Secretary - Madras
Possession and Rights of Tenants
Possession alone does not establish lawful rights over property; juridical possession without legal relationship does not confer ownership or right to obstruct lawful transactions. VASUDEVA MENON AND OTHERS vs M/S.K.J.PLANTATIONS - Kerala
Legal Constraints on Bequeathing and Alienation
Under Mohammedan law, a person can only bequeath up to one-third of their property, and such bequests to heirs require the consent of other heirs posthumously. Similarly, property transactions involving minors or without proper authority or consent are invalid. Noorunissaalias Pichamma VS Rahaman Bi - Madras, Sulaika Bivi and others VS Rameeza Bivi and others - Madras
Legal Proceedings and Validity of Transactions
Analysis and Conclusion
The sources collectively highlight that any shared or joint property cannot be leased, transferred, or alienated without the explicit consent of all co-owners or relevant parties. Unauthorized dealings are generally deemed invalid, and legal procedures such as registration and proper authority are essential to uphold the validity of property transactions. Mutual consent is a core principle governing the lawful use, transfer, or leasing of jointly owned property, and breaches of this principle can lead to legal invalidity or disputes.
