A donor executes a deed of gift of immovable property and dies before the deed is presented for registration. Applying Kalyana Sundram v. Karuppa (AIR 1927 PC 42), the deed:
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A.
1. Kalyana Sundram v. Karuppa held that registration is a necessary solemnity but does not suspend the gift, provided the donor has done everything in his power to complete the donation.
2. The lesson states expressly that on registration the gift "operates as from the date of execution", not from the date of registration.
3. Death of the donor before registration is not a ground for refusing registration if the deed is presented by a person having necessary interest.
4. Express revocation by the donor would have been a separate ground; mere death is not.
