Under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, the rights of an unpaid seller have been listed in:

Section 46 lists the unpaid seller’s rights against the goods: lien while in possession, stoppage in transit on the buyer’s insolvency, and resale subject to the Act. Where property has not passed, it also recognises a corresponding right to withhold delivery. Section 45 defines an unpaid seller, while sections 47 and 49 deal with aspects of lien.
