Under section 91 of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, if a person acquires property with notice of an existing contract affecting it:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 91 of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 provides that a person who acquires property with notice of an existing contract affecting it, of which specific performance could be enforced, "must hold the property for the benefit of the latter to the extent necessary to give effect to the contract". Notice binds his conscience, so he does not take free of the contract, and the other party is not left with a mere claim for damages against the seller.
