Adequate consideration
Adequate consideration, The condition regarding adequate consideration would not apply to a gift, as a gift is a transfer without consideration, Kumari Sonia Bhatia v. State of U.P., AIR 1981 SC 1274: (1981) 2 SCC 585. [Contract Act, 1872, s. 2(b) (9 of 1872)]In the absence of a definition of the phrase 'adequate consideration', the common parlance meaning of the term has to be accepted. A reference to the decision of Hidayatullah, J. as he then was in Tulsidas Kilachand v. CIT shows that the words 'adequate consideration' were held to denote consideration other than mere love and affection which, in the case of a wife, may be presumed. When the law insists that there should be 'adequate consideration' and not good consideration , it excludes mere love and affection, Major V. P. Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh, 1991 Supp (2) SCC 346 (347): AIR 1991 SC 1502. [U.P. Imposition of ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, s. 5(6) Proviso(b) second clause]The words 'adequate consideration' clearl...
Gift
Gift. The old text-writers made a gift (donatio) a distinct species of deed, and describe it as a conveyance applicable to the creation of an estate-tail; while a feoffment they strictly confine to the creation of a fee simple estate. The operative verb was 'give,' which no longer implies any covenant in law (Real Property Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 106), s. 4), replaced by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 59(2), and the deed required livery of seisin. It is obsolete. See Jac. Law Dict.A gift is now understood to mean a mere voluntary assurance or transfer of property without any consideration being given for it. Such a transaction is apt to be very jealously scrutinized in a Court of Equity, and will be set aside on proof of undue influence (see that title), or of a fiduciary relationship of the donee to the donor, see Huguenin v. Baseley, (1806-8) 14 Ves 273; W. & T. L.C.; Morley v. Loughman, (1893) 1 Ch 736 (757); Lyon v. Home, (1868) LR 6 Eq 655. In the absence of any such objectio...
