https://lawtimesjournal.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/KERALA-HC-5.png1200628Recently, the Kerala High Court had ruled that Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 was not applicable in the matters of an agreement for sale which is deemed void in nature. It was also observed that Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act was applicable only in the cases where the contract for transfer was valid in all respects. It had to be an agreement enforceable by law according to the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
