https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171605 Section 53-A of the Transfer of Property Act operates only as an equitable shield for a transferee in possession against the transferor or persons claiming under him. An agreement to sell does not create any interest in immovable property, and title passes only through a registered sale deed under Section 54. As the intermediate purchaser had no registered conveyance or transferable interest, he could not pass any better right to the appellant. Lacking privity of contract with the original owner, the appellant could not invoke part performance to resist the owner's claim for possession. en-us Wed, 25 Aug 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 18:47:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171605 Section 53-A of the Transfer of Property Act operates only as an equitable shield for a transferee in possession against the transferor or persons claiming under him.
