Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Can a property belonging (title deed) to a female member (not a coparcener) of HUF be considered to be a HUF property, irrespective of source of funds ? Would this not fall under Benami Transactions since a female member cannot blend her property with the HUF [Pushpa Devi vs CIT AIR SC 1977 2370], especially in light of section 14(1) of Hindu Succession Act ??
