1951 (10) TMI 29 - HC - Indian Laws

Summary

The High Court of Hyderabad reversed a lower court decree in a second appeal, granting possession of a house to the plaintiff-respondent based on a marriage agreement where the house was conveyed to her in lieu of dower. The defendant-appellant denied the marriage and transfer of the house, asserting ownership and mortgage rights. The court held that the unregistered marriage certificate was admissible as evidence for collateral purposes.
