On which of the following, second chapter of Transfer of Property Act, 1882 is not applicable ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 2 of the Transfer of Property Act saves personal law: "nothing in the second chapter of this Act shall be deemed to affect any rule of Muhammadan law". Chapter II (sections 5 to 53A) contains the general rules on transfers of property.

There is no similar saving for rules of Hindu, Christian or Parsi law, so Chapter II applies to transfers by persons governed by those laws.
