Registration of title of land
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. It should be observ...
Obstruction
Obstruction, a wider meaning than mere physical obstruction. Any tangible or identifiable, obstruc-tion would also satisfy the requirement of s. 16 of the Telegraph Act, 1885, Arammanavara Aswathappa v. Karnataka Electricity Board, AIR 1987 Kar 282 (284). [Telegraph Act, 1885, s. 16]Obstruction to search is to the act of the person conducting a search. It is a defensive act but where search has ended and the persons conducting the search have left the premises, to bring them back and to make them do things against their will is not an obstruction to an act but a compulsion to make them act, CCE v. Pradip Fort Trust, AIR 1990 SC 1897 (1900). (Customs Act, 1962, s. 133)Obstruction is not confined to physical obstruction and it includes anything which makes it more difficult for the police or public servant to carry out their duties, Shyam Lal Sharma v. State of Madya Pradesh, (1972) 1 SCC 764 AIR: (1972) SC 886. (Criminal Procedure Code, 1898, s. 165)...
Searches
Searches, an essential feature in the acquisition of land sine registration under the (English) Land Charges Act, 1925, in the land or local registries of any incumbrance which is required to be registered under that Act is notice (q.v.) to the purchaser and all persons connected with the land affected [see s. 198, (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, and see (English) LAND CHARGES]. Searches are necessary, not only in the Land Registry, but at the office of the local authority for local land charges. Searches may be made personally in each of the registers under the (English) Land Charges Act, 1925, but the usual practice is to apply for and obtain an official certificate of search at the Land Registry, which covers all the registers there, viz.: (1) pending ss. or lis pendens; (2) writs and orders affecting land, such as writs of execution or orders appointing a receiver, bankruptcy petitions and receiving orders; (3) deeds of arrangement; and (4) land charges under s. 10 of the (Eng...
