Leela v. Vasu
Case brief
What is this about?
A partition claim challenged a registered gift deed as fraudulent, void and sham. The court upheld the gift, found the declaration time-barred and held partition unavailable without recovery from the purchaser claiming rival title. It dismissed the second appeal and confirmed dismissal of the suit.
