casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: ZOHARBEE v. IMAM KHAN (D) THR. LRS. Outcome: Supreme Court dismissed the appeals and upheld the High Court's decision, ruling that all property left by deceased Chand Khan constitutes "matruka" (estate) property subject to Islamic inheritance laws. The widow Zoharbee is entitled to 1/4th share as she had no children; the remaining property devolves per Mohammedan law principles. Key Holding: An agreement to sell property does not transfer ownership—only a registered sale deed does. Since the sale deed was executed after Chand Khan's death, the property remained his at death and forms part of his estate for division among heirs. Next Steps: No further appeals indicated; matter concluded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
