Civil Appeal Nos. 2295 with 293 of 1984, D/- 7 - 7 - 1997

Balwant Singh and another etc Appellants v. Daulat Singh (dead) by L.Rs. and others Respondents.

(A)Evidence Act (1 of 1872), S.35 - Entries in revenue records - Do not convey or extinguish any

title - Widow mutated lands in favour of her adopted sons - Neither adopted sons would acquire

title nor widows title in the property would get extinguished - Since no title as such was passed

on under alleged 'mutation gift,' the limited right of widow in property would get enlarged on

coming into force of Hindu Succession Act, 1956 - Alienations made by her by way of gift cannot

be said to be without authority.

R.S.A. No. 25 of 1976, D/- 29-11-1983 (Punj and Har) Reversed.

Transfer of Property Act (4 of 1882)
