Nadiminti Satyanarayanamurthi vs Malluri Papayya And Anr. on 31 January, 1941
2. The ground on which the Subordinate Judge declined to recognise the transfer was that under Section 28 (4) of the Provincial Insolvency Act the decree vested in the Official Receiver and the insolvent was not competent to transfer it. He followed a decision of this Court reported in Lingayya v. Venkatapathy A.I.R. 1935 Mad. 694. It was a decision of our learned brother Pandrang Row, J. In that case the insolvent succeeded to certain property as reversioner subsequent to the date of the order of adjudication and before his discharge. He sold the property to the plaintiff in that case who sued to recover possession on the strength of the said sale deed. The suit was dismissed on the ground that the property vested in the Official Receiver and that the insolvent had no title to convey.
