Which one of the following cases does not pertain to the doctrine of 'part performance' ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Ram Baran Prasad v. Ram Mohit Hazra (AIR 1967 SC 744) held that a covenant of pre-emption that creates no interest in land is a personal covenant not hit by the rule against perpetuity; it has nothing to do with part performance.

Ariff v. Jadunath Majumdar (1931) and Probodh Kumar Das v. Dantmara Tea Co. (1939) are Privy Council decisions on part performance and section 53A. Sardar Govind Rao Mahadik v. Devi Sahai (1982) is the Supreme Court's leading case on the conditions of section 53A.
