Gift Deed Not Binding - Multiple sources indicate that gift deeds are often deemed not binding on the recipients or other co-owners, especially if the gift is challenged or found invalid under Hindu law or due to procedural issues. Courts have held that such deeds do not extinguish the right of other heirs or co-owners to partition or claim their share Jaggavarapu Krishna Reddy VS Jaggarvarapu Chittemma - Andhra Pradesh, Chuni Lal VS Saraswati - Jammu and Kashmir, Karan Chabria VS Yashwant Chabria - Calcutta, Chandeshwar Prasad VS Most. Jeera Devi - Patna, Melappa and Anr VS Guramma - Bombay, M. S. SHEKHARAPPA VS VEERAMMA - Karnataka, Pootharaju Papayamma VS Mallapragada Gopalakrishnamurty - Andhra Pradesh, Sukanti Dei @ Samantara VS Chhabirani Majhi - Orissa, SMT.MANGALAMMA vs SRI.NANJUNDAPPA - Karnataka, Radhika Devi VS Bajrangi Singh - Supreme Court.
Right to Partition - Even if a gift deed is executed, it does not necessarily bar the right to seek partition of the property. Courts have recognized that parties can partition the estate among themselves, but such partition does not override the right of co-owners or heirs unless the gift is valid and binding Chuni Lal VS Saraswati - Jammu and Kashmir, Karan Chabria VS Yashwant Chabria - Calcutta, Sukanti Dei @ Samantara VS Chhabirani Majhi - Orissa.
Effect of Invalid or Void Gift Deeds - Courts have consistently held that invalid or void gift deeds are not binding on other parties and do not affect their rights to partition or possession. Recitals in a gift deed are not conclusive of ownership or right to possess, especially if the deed is challenged or found to be invalid Karan Chabria VS Yashwant Chabria - Calcutta, Sukanti Dei @ Samantara VS Chhabirani Majhi - Orissa, Pootharaju Papayamma VS Mallapragada Gopalakrishnamurty - Andhra Pradesh.
Legal Proceedings and Challenges - Courts have allowed suits for partition even when gift deeds are involved, provided the deeds are disputed or declared invalid. The courts emphasize that the primary focus is on the actual rights of parties, not on invalid deeds Melappa and Anr VS Guramma - Bombay, M. S. SHEKHARAPPA VS VEERAMMA - Karnataka, Radhika Devi VS Bajrangi Singh - Supreme Court.
Summary - Overall, gift deeds are often not binding on other co-owners or heirs if challenged or invalidated, and the right to partition remains unaffected. Courts prioritize the actual ownership rights and legal validity over the deed's recitals or purported transfers all references.
Conclusion: Gift deeds, unless valid and binding, do not extinguish the right of other parties to seek partition or claim their share in the property. Courts tend to uphold the rights of co-owners or heirs to partition the estate regardless of the existence of challenged or invalid gift deeds.
