https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184152 Section 41 of the Transfer of Property Act protects a transferee only while the transferor remains an ostensible owner with subsisting authority to convey the interest represented by possession. A widow holding only a life estate could not transfer title beyond that restricted interest, and once her life estate ended, her ostensible ownership also ceased. The transferee therefore could not claim a better title than the transferor possessed, and the sale deed did not defeat the State's reversionary title. The bona fide purchaser plea was unavailable because the doctrine does not validate a transfer beyond the limited owner's life interest. en-us Thu, 26 Jul 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 16:01:54 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184152 Section 41 of the Transfer of Property Act protects a transferee only while the transferor remains an ostensible owner with subsisting authority to convey the interest represented by possession.
