Requirement of depositing mortgage money in court for redemption of a deed.Detailed Analysis:1. The Second Appeal involved a dispute over the acquisition of valid title by the original plaintiff through a registered sale deed. The suit sought a declaration of title to Schedule 1 property and custody of the registration receipt upon payment of specific amounts to the defendants. Both lower courts decreed in favor of the plaintiffs, leading to the appeal by the defendants.2. The key issue was whether title had passed to the plaintiff before the execution of a subsequent sale deed by the defendant to a third party. The sequence of events, including the execution of deeds and payments made, was crucial in determining the passing of title.3. The interpretation of the terms of the sale deed regarding the passing of title upon full payment of consideration was central to the dispute. The contention revolved around whether title passed at the time of execution and registration of the deed or upon full payment of the consideration.4. The validity of the tender of the balance consideration money by the plaintiff and the subsequent refusal by the defendant was a significant point of contention. The courts below accepted the plaintiff's version of events, leading to a finding that the plaintiff had fulfilled her obligations for the exchange of equivalents.5. The argument regarding the necessity of depositing the balance consideration money in court for a valid tender was raised. The appellant contended that without such a deposit, the tender would not be legally sufficient. However, legal precedents and the Transfer of Property Act were cited to support the validity of the tender without a court deposit.6. The classification of the deed as a mortgage by conditional sale or a sale with a condition of repurchase was another crucial aspect. The courts below had determined the nature of the deed based on the evidence presented and had concluded that it was redeemable.7. The consideration of evidence and findings by the lower appellate court was also a subject of discussion. While the appellate court did not extensively discuss the evidence, its affirmance of the trial court's findings was deemed legally sound.8. Finally, the requirement of depositing the mortgage money in court for the redemption of a deed was clarified. The legal options available to a mortgagor for redemption, including private tender to the mortgagee or instituting a suit, were highlighted to support the court's decision.In conclusion, the High Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the lower courts' findings on the passing of title and the validity of the plaintiff's actions in the property dispute.
