Dad can give property to married daughter, says SC

Salt Lake , Kolkata resident transferred ownership of his flat to his married daughter depriving his son and wife because he was ill treated by them. The division bench of the Calcutta HC said that the daughter was only a shareholder of the property and cannot dispose off the property without consent of her brother and mother.
However, an appeal to SC set a landmark decision that the cooperative society has to register the flat in the name of the married daughter and only if she did not exercise her right as a nominee under Section 70 of the Act, then alone the brother and mother can exercise their interest as a member of succession or inheritance.
