Suit for redemption, a suit for redemption is thus defined by this section as a suit for enforcement of right to redeem, and that right of redeem consists of the three reliefs which the mortgagor is entitled to under clauses (a), (b) and (c) mentioned above, on payment or tender, at a proper date and place, of the mortgage money. Consequently, a suit can be said to be a suit for redemption if the three rights enumerated in this section as constituting the right to redeem are claimed in the suit, K. Manick Chand v. Elias Saleh Mohd Sait, AIR 1969 SC 751 (758): (1969) 1 SCC 206. (Transfer of Property Act, 1882, s. 60)...
Annuity
Annuity, in order to constitute an annuity, the payment to be made periodically should be a fixed or predetermined one, and it should not be liable to any variation depending upon or on any ground relating to the general income of the fund or estate which is charged for such payment, CWT v. P. K. Banerjee, (1981) 1 SCC 63 (75): AIR 1981 SC 401. [Wealth-Tax Act, 1957, s. 2(e)(1)(iv)]It is a right to receive a specified sum and not an aliquot share in the income arising from any fund or property. Ordinarily an annuity is a money payment of a fixed sum annually made and is a charge personally on the grantor, CWT v. Arundhati Balkrishna, (1970) 1 SCC 561 (565): AIR 1971 SC 915.

Debenture
Debenture [fr. debeo, Lat., to owe] may be defined generally as a charge in writing [not necessarily sealed, see British India, etc., Co. v. Commissioners of Inland Revenue, (1881) 7 QBD 165] of certain pro-perty with the repayment at a time fixed of money lent by person therein named at a given interest, but the term is a very elastic one. The word 'debenture' is of ancient origin and appears to have been in use five centuries ago (Palmer's Company Precedents, Pt. III., p. 1); and a document which, though it mentions to security and is only a promise to pay, is properly described as a debentures, and as a marketable security will require to be stamped as such, Spenyer v. Inland Revenue Commissioners, (1907)1 KB 246. By the (English) Companies Act, 1929, s. 380, a debenture is defined as including debenture stock, bonds or other securities of a company whether constituting a charge on the assets of the company or not. The charge created by debentures as a rule is fixed on the company's...

Equity of redemption
Equity of redemption. Before 1926 the equitable estate or interest left in a person after he had mortgaged his property. Now the right to call for a reconveyance of a legal estate or of an equitable interest in property from the mortgagee on payment of principal, interest and costs. A mort-gagee, although he has become absolute owner of a legal estate in the mortgaged property, on account of the breach of the condition for repayment of the loan within the strict time, is nevertheless compelled to reconvey the legal estate to the mortgagor, who applies to redeem it, on payment of the principal, interest, and costs, Equity treating the breach of the condition as a penalty, and the retention for the mortgagee's own benefit of that which was intended simply as a pledge, as contrary to substantial justice.The right or equity of redemption is an essential attribute of a mortgage; it is inherent in the thing itself, and any provision inserted in the mortgage to defeat the right is void as a '...
Consolidation of mortgages
Consolidation of mortgages. When different pro-perties are mortgaged by the same mortgage or to the same mortgagee for different debts, it was formerly the right of the mortgagee to refuse to allow the mortgagor to redeem one of the mortgages without also redeeming the others, the effect being to throw the whole of the debts on the whole of the properties and thus 'consolidate' the mortgages. This right of the mortgagee was an application of the maxim, 'He who seeks equity must do equity'; it was not considered fair to the mortgagee to allow the mortgagor to pay off one mortgage, which perhaps was well secured, and leave the mortgagee with another mortgage on his hands which might be very insufficiently secured. But though the doctrine was not unfair or unreasonable as originally applied, it came to be extended to cases where, owing to devolutions of title having taken place, its application was manifestly unjust, and attempts were made by the Courts to limit its exercise. Finally, the...
Foreclosure
Foreclosure. A mortgagee, or any person claiming an interest in the mortgage under him, can compel the mortgagor, after breach of the condition, to elect either to redeem the pledge or that his equity of redemption be extinguished by an order of the Court. The foreclosure of mortgages is one of the matters assigned to the Chancery Division of the High Court. [Jud. Act, 1925, s. 56(1)]A legal proceeding to terminate a mortgagor's interest in property, instituted by lender either to gain title or to force a sale in order to satisfy the unpaid debt secured by property, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn.Law of Property Act, 1925 (English) s. 91, replacing the Conveyancing Act, 1881 (44 & 45 Vict. c. 41), s. 25, replacing the (English) Chancery Procedure Act, 1852 (15 & 16 Vict. c. 86), s. 48, empowers either mortgagor or mortgagee to obtain an order for sale instead of redemption or foreclosure.See ss. 88 and 89 of the (English) L.P. Act, 1925, in regard to the estate acquired by the mortgag...
