Sardar Govindrao Mahadik & Anr vs Devi Sahai & Ors on 15 December, 1981

In that case the appellants had put forward certain documents as a lease which was admittedly beyond 11 months and, therefore, it was held that the company was not entitled to avail the statutory right under Section 53­A. In Sardar Govindrao Mahadik v. Devi Sahai, (1982) 1 SCC 237, this Court had held that the Court would look at the writing that is offered as a contract for transfer for consideration of any immovable property, then examine the acts said to have been done in furtherance of the contract, and find out whether there is a real nexus between the contract and the acts pleaded as a part performance so that, to refuse relief would be perpetuating the fraud of the party, who after having taken advantage or benefit of the contract, backs out and leads non­registration as a defence, a defence analogous to Section 4 of Statute of Frauds. In that case it was held that the mortgagee in possession was not entitled to claim title of ownership against suit of mortgagor for redemption. Therefore, the doctrine of part performance in Section 58(3) was held not available to establish title to the property. In Sheth Maneklal Mansukhbhai v. M/s. Homusji Jamshedji Ginwala and Sons, 1950 SCR 75, this Court had held that Section 53­A of the Act is only a partial importation of English doctrine of part performance.

Ramlal & Anr vs Phagua & Ors on 19 October, 2005

17. Further more in order to establish the claim of the absolute and exclusive ownership, plaintiff is required to establish complete chain of ownership, which finally culminates in his favour. In the present case it is still a mystery before this court, that who was the original owner of the suit property? i.e. how defendant no.3 became owner of this property? It is settled law that a vendor cannot convey a better title in favour of the vendee. (ref. Ram Lal Vs. Phagua (2006) 1 SCC 168; Vishwanath Prasad Vs. Rajender Prasad AIR 2006 SC 2965). Though this principle of law is subject to certain exceptions provided in the Transfer of Properties Act, however, since plaintiff has not taken plea that his case comes under any of such exceptions, therefore, this court is not required to discuss those exceptions. In that situation the general law prevails and operates even in the present case.
