Soni Lalji Jetha & Ors vs Soni Kalidas Devchand & Ors on 14 October, 1966
In Sathiraju v. Venkanna(1) the High Court of
Madras similarly observed that as a result of s. 91 of the
Trusts Act the natural result of a person purchasing a
property with notice of a prior contract in another person's
favour is that the purchaser holds the property for the
benefit of the latter to the extent necessary to give effect
to the contract. But for all other purposes and as between
the purchaser and the vendor, the purchaser is the owner and
that is the reason why in such circumstances the decree in a
suit for specific performance must direct the purchaser to
join in execution of the conveyance.
