In the light of judicial pronouncements, discuss the following: Revocation of gift.

Answer & Explanation:

Section 126 of Transfer of Property Act, 1882 prescribes the circumstances when a gift may be suspended or revoked. As per Section 126, the donor and donee may agree that on the happening of any specified events which does not depend on the will of the donor a gift shall be revoked; but a gift which the parties agree shall be revocable wholly or in part, at the mere will of the donor, is void wholly or in part, as the case may be. A gift may also be revoked in any of the cases (save want or failure of consideration) in which, if it were a contract, it might be rescinded. Save as aforesaid, a gift cannot be revoked.
