In Brief
The Supreme Court dismissed a civil appeal concerning the validity of an alleged oral gift of immovable property. The appellant (successor of Mariyambi) claimed Mariyambi was gifted the property but failed to prove this claim. The courts below found that Mariyambi did not testify, did not produce evidence of the gift, and the property records did not support her claim. A subsequent Sale Deed she executed did not establish her title. The Supreme Court upheld the findings, holding that mere assertion without credible evidence cannot establish an oral gift of immovable property."
