Benami transaction - Prohibition - where it has been asserted that the suit premises was purchased in the name of the respondent No.1, but from the exclusive contributions made by late Shri R.P. Dhir and therefore in reality, was meant for the benefit of all the family members, the real test would be the source from which the purchase money came from, the nature and status of possession of the property after its purchase, the motive if any for giving the transaction a Benami colour, the position of the parties and their inter se relationship, between the appellants/plaintiffs and the respondent No.1, the overall conduct of the parties in dealing with the suit premises after it was acquired, etc.
