Registration of title of land. The (English) Land Registration Act, 1925 (15 Geo. 5, c. 21), repeals and re-enacts the (English) Land Transfer Acts, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 87) and 1897 (60 & 61 Vict. c. 65), with amendments in keeping with innovations which were introduced by the property laws of 1925. Its object is to simplify the indicia of land ownership and transfer by mere inscription and transcription in a register. The advantages which are claimed for the system are (a) purchasers for value of an absolute or good leasehold title are absolved from any inquiry into the title other than it is shown to be on the register; (b) certain equitable claims which would be binding on the land under the general law and cannot be removed or over-reached without onerous formalities do not affect such purchasers; (c) the method of conveyance or charge is simple; (d) subject to the statutory provisions, registration guarantees the title to purchasers for value and mortgagees.

Transfer of property
Transfer of property, includes a transfer of any interest in property and the creation of any charge upon property. [Provincial Insolvency Act, 1920 (5 of 1920), s. 2 (1) (f)]Section 5 defined 'transfer of property' as meaning 'an Act by which a living person conveys property, in present or in future to one or more other living persons, or to himself, or to himself and one or more other living persons', and 'to transfer property' is to perform such act, Dattatraya Shanker Mote v. Anand Chintaman Datar, (1974) 2 SCC 799 (809): (1975) 2 SCR 224.In its general sense, the expression 'transfer of property' connotes the passing of rights in the property from one person to another.

Notice
Notice, the making something known to a person of which he was or might be ignorant. Notice is either (1) statutory; (2) actual, which brings the knowledge of a fact directly home to the party; or (3) constructive or implied, which is no more than evidence of facts which raise such a strong presumption of notice that equity will not allow the presumption to be rebutted. [S. 154, I.P.C. and Art. 61(2)(a) const. 56 Indian Evidence Act]Constructive notice may be subdivided into: (a) where the facts of which actual evidence is supplied give rise to a further enquiry which a man exercising ordinary caution would make equity has added constructive notice of the facts, which that inquiry would have elicited; and (b) where there has been a designed abstinence from inquiry for the very purpose of avoiding notice.

Therein
Therein, the word 'therein' does not mean that all the act of consumption must take place in the area of the municipality, Burmah Shell Oil Storage and Distribution Co. v. Belgaum Borough Municipality, AIR 1963 SC 906: (1963) 2 Supp SCR 216.The true meaning and construction of the word 'therein' in the expression 'any person interested therein' appearing in sub-s. (1) of s. 6. In order to understand the meaning of the word 'therein' in our view, it is necessary to refer to the preceding words 'the Board or the mutawalli of the wakf' which immediately precedes it. It cannot refer to the 'wakf property'. Sub-s. (1) of s. 6 enumerates the person who can file suits and also the questions in respect of which such suits can be filed. In enumerating the person who are empowered to file suits under this provision, only the Board, the mutawalli of the wakf, and 'any person interested therein', thereby necessarily meaning any person interested in the wakf, are listed. It should be borne in mind ...

Marshalling
Marshalling, the act of arranging or of putting into proper order.The doctrine of marshalling assets and securities depends upon the principle that a person, having two funds out of which to satisfy his demands, shall not, by his election, prejudice a person who has only one such fund. If, therefore, one who has a claim upon two funds resorts to the only fund upon which another has a claim, the latter stands in his place for so much against the fund to which otherwise he could not have access: the object being that every claimant shall be satisfied as far as, by any arrangement consistent with the nature of the several claims, the property which they seek to affect can be applied in satisfaction of such claims.In the administration of the estate of deceased persons, marshalling consists of arranging the assets so as to give effect to the priority of debts, as to legal assets on the one hand, and to the order of assets on the other. now that all the assets are liable to be applied for t...
