In the context of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, which of the following persons comes in the category of 'Ostensible owner'?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

A transferee from the State Government can be an ostensible owner where the allottee appears in the revenue records as owner although the Government remains the real owner. The description refers to an appearance of ownership, not an automatic consequence of every government transfer. An agent, an idol's manager and a licensee ordinarily hold or act in a disclosed representative or permissive capacity rather than appearing to own the property themselves.
