DRY LAND GIFTED TO GOVERNMENT FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE TO BE RECLAIMED


07-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
My clients have gifted jointly with my relatives who are adjacent land owners, totalling nearly 1.5 acres of dry land during 2010 and executed a Gift deed in favour of the T.N. State Government, duly accepted by the Chief Educational Officer of my District (Madurai). Whereas there is no official news yet, during the past 10 years, shall I re-claim the property gifted to the Government for the specific purpose of constructing a School, as the project does not seem to be alive. I propose to get official information filing an RTI Petition, and after ascertaining the fate of the project, intend to tile an O.S. to declare the Gift deed as Null and void. Am I right in guiding my clients on above linses Sir...

Yes. Try to get complete information on the project. Specifically, the timeframe within which it was to be completed, etc. But if the donors had received any consideration or money the gifted land cannot be reclaimed. Gift for specific purpose and its fulfillment are the deciding factors.
