A. Muthuswami Ayyar And Anr. vs P.B. Loganatha Mudali And Ors. on 29 October, 1934
15. That circumstance is not available in the present case because defendant 1 had taken a transfer only from the Official Assignee and not from Shanmuga or his heirs. Further if the principle of Section 91,' Trusts Act, is to be invoked, the question as to notice and as to the degree of default of the vendor and the vendee respectively will become material and these questions have not been properly raised or dealt with in the Court below. Having regard to the reasoning of the recent Privy Council cases it is not by any means certain, whether the view taken in Thiruvenkatachariar v. Seshadri Aiyanger 1917 Mad 190 can be safely followed in cases where there is not the additional fact present in that case, viz., of the execution of a registered conveyance, though of a later date in favour of the promisee. Issue 6 in the case raised the question whether the sale by defendants 4 and 5 to the plaintiff was invalid, but the reasons therefor, as gathered from para 21 of the written statement have nothing to do with the point now sought to be raised. We are therefore unable to give any relief to the appellant on the basis of Section 91, Trusts Act.
