Transfer of ancestral property

MADHUSUDAN G R (Querist) 04 August 2015 This query is : Resolved
Whether ancestral property i.e., agricultural can be transferred by a Karta of HUF in favour of one of his daughters without the knowledge of other legal heirs.

Whether a mere entry into the revenue records without a registered deed of transfer/gift amounts to transfer?

No. ancestral property cannot be transferred in favour one of the daughters, because in the ancestral property in the share of the father other legal heirs have got equal rights.
Mere entry in the revenue records does not suffice,any entry made in the revenue records without any regd., documents amounts to stray entry, it has no value in the eye of law.
u/s 17 of the indian regn., act registration is mandatory.
