Property Law - Notes, Case Laws And Study Material

Property Law- The Transfer of Property Act came into existence in 1882. Before that, the transfer of immovable property was governed by the principles of English law and equity. This Act deals with the transfer of property inter vivos, i.e., a transfer between living persons. It contains the transfer of both movable and immovable property but a major portion of the enactment is applicable to the transfers of immovable properties only.
