As a Mahomedan gift, it was exempt from registration under the Transfer of Property Act, so no registered instrument was necessary. The validity of the gift still depended on proof of delivery of possession and the applicable rules on mushaa, so that issue remained for trial and the matter was remanded. en-us Wed, 27 Feb 1946 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 Jul 2020 14:17:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289109 A land assignment by a husband to his wife at marriage in satisfaction of mahr was treated as a simple Mahomedan gift, not a sale or hiba-bil-iwaz, because the wife furnished no iwaz and the arrangement did not amount to consideration for a transfer.
