A has sold 50 bags of wheat to B, but they remain in A’s godown. B has neither actual nor constructive possession and has a beneficial interest recognised by the civil courts. Under section 3 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, how is B’s claim to the wheat classified?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 3 includes a beneficial interest in movable property outside the claimant’s actual or constructive possession, recognised by civil courts as a ground for relief. With both forms of possession expressly excluded, B’s claim falls within that definition.

Option feedback

Option A

“Specific claim” is not the defined statutory classification requested.

Option B

The stated beneficial interest outside both forms of possession meets the movable-property limb of actionable claim.

Option C

“Lawful claim” is a general description, not the defined classification asked for.

Option D

The defined classification actionable claim is available.
