SC backs mother's right to gift self-acquired property to son

Hyderabad: In a ruling that strengthens the property rights of Hindu women, the Supreme Court has brought closure to a bitter family dispute by upholding a mother's decision to gift her self-acquired property to one of her sons. The apex court dismissed a special leave petition filed by her youngest son, who had challenged the validity of the gift deed on the grounds that the property was joint family property. At the heart of the dispute lies a prime three-storeyed residence in Jubilee Hills, spread across 1,182 square yards. The property was purchased in 1988 by Susheela Agarwal in her own name, a key fact that ultimately shaped the outcome of the legal battle.

In 2022, Susheela gifted the property through a registered deed to her eldest son. Her youngest son, Bajranglal Agarwal, objected, claiming that the property had been bought by their late father in the mother's name and that she had no independent means to finance such a purchase. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Undo He sought a partition, asserting that the asset formed part of the joint family property. However, both the trial court and the Telangana high court summarily rejected the suit under Order VII, Rule 11 of the Civil Procedure Code, stating it failed to establish a valid cause of action and was barred under section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act. The high court bench, headed by Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya, observed that the petitioner had previously accepted his mother's authority over the property when she had drafted a will in August 2022, dividing it equally among her three sons. The twist came when the mother revised her will and executed a gift deed in December 2022, granting the entire property to her eldest son. While the second son respected her decision, the youngest son launched a legal challenge, reversing his earlier stance and contending that the property belonged to the joint family. During the proceedings, the mother's counsel produced clear documentation showing that the purchase in 1988 was made from her personal funds, with payments made via her own cheques—establishing her exclusive ownership. Invoking section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act, which grants Hindu women full ownership over property acquired by them, the courts consistently upheld her right to deal with the property as she pleased. With the Supreme Court's refusal to admit the appeal, the ruling now stands as final. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

HC stays govt notice on creation of STF police stns

1 2 Kolkata: A division bench of Calcutta High Court's Jalpaiguri circuit bench has stayed a Bengal govt gazette notification announcing the creation of two Special Task Force (STF) police stations and tying them up with two existing courts in two parts of the state. The state had set up the designated police stations — one in north Bengal and the other in south — to register FIRs and investigate offences under special acts like Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, Arms Act, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and Prevention of Money Laundering Act. "The entire scheme of BNSS has been sought to be frustrated, prima facie" by such a notification, said a bench of justices Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya and Uday Kumar, ordering an interim stay on it till Sept 15 or until further orders. You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata "Access to justice is not a fancy right. If the notification is to be given force, then a person living in a remote area will never report an offence," Justice Bhattacharyya observed. The bench, however, held that FIRs already registered with the two STF police stations and the investigation thereafter would not be affected by the stay order but their fate shall depend on the outcome of the writ petition. The state, by a notification on Jan 31, created one STF police station at the STF HQ in Salt Lake for all south Bengal districts from Murshidabad to East Midnapore, other than areas under the jurisdiction of Kolkata Police, and the other at Ambikanagar in Siliguri for all north Bengal districts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo By a subsequent notification on May 16, the govt tied up these police stations with the ACJM court, Bidhannagar and ACJM court, Siliguri. The additional advocate general pleaded that the executive action was well within the powers of state govt. However, the bench underscored the distinction between "local jurisdiction" of courts and determination of "local area" of police stations under BNSS. Having referred to the distinction, the bench held that the state had "picked and chosen" the local limits of police stations "at its whims".

Lulutox Undo Smith prosecuted two federal cases against Trump Smith prosecuted two federal cases against Republican candidate Trump in the lead-up to the November 2024 presidential election. Smith ultimately dropped the cases; neither one had gone to trial after Trump was reelected, which would have shielded him from prosecution according to longstanding Justice Department practice. Smith then subsequently resigned as special counsel. Live Events Cotton, R-Ark., on Wednesday asked the Office of Special Counsel to investigate Smith, alleging that his conduct was designed to help then-President Joe Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, both Democrats. Biden had dropped his bid for reelection following his disastrous performance in a campaign debate against Trump and tapped Harris to succeed him on the ticket. Trump won the election and returned to the White House for a second term. The New York Post was first to report on the investigation into Smith.
