Which of the following sections of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 contain exceptions to the maxim nemo dat quod non habet?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 41 (transfer by an ostensible owner) and section 43 (feeding the grant by estoppel) allow a transferee to obtain a good title from a person who did not have full title, so "Section 41 and 43" are exceptions to the maxim nemo dat quod non habet. Section 42 deals with a transfer by a person having authority to revoke a former transfer, and section 44 with a co-owner transferring his own share; neither gives a better title than the transferor had.
