India, Oct. 8 -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday said a gift (hiba) under Mohammedan Law does not require a written document to be valid.

The court said there are three essential conditions for an oral gift - a clear manifestation of the wish to give on the part of the donor, an acceptance of the gift by the donee and the taking of possession of the subject-matter of the gift by the donee, either actually or constructively.
