Gift Deed to Daughter-in-Law Valid Despite Lease Clause, as Donor's Clear Intention and Family Support Establish Authenticity

HC allowed appeal against trial court's decision invalidating a gift deed and granting permanent injunction. While trial court focused solely on fraud allegation without conclusively establishing it, HC found the gift deed valid based on intrinsic evidence showing donor's clear intention and explanation for the transfer. Though Clause II(6) of lease deed required written consent for property transfer, its violation would only affect lease renewal, not invalidate the transfer itself. Donor's explicit statement of love and affection for donee (daughter-in-law), coupled with confirmation by other family members, established deed's validity. Trial court's judgment declaring gift deed void and granting injunction was set aside, and original suit dismissed without costs.
