https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=179194 Under the Enemy Property Act, 1968, vesting in the Custodian is limited to possession, management and control and does not transfer title. Where the enemy subject died and the property devolved by succession on an Indian citizen, the property ceased to fall within the statutory definition of enemy property because the Act excludes an Indian citizen from that category. Section 13 does not preserve enemy character after such succession, and Section 18 does not prevent judicial relief once the property has lost that character. The Custodian therefore had no right to retain possession after succession to the citizen-heir. en-us Fri, 21 Oct 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:25:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=179194 Under the Enemy Property Act, 1968, vesting in the Custodian is limited to possession, management and control and does not transfer title.
