Which pair of provisions of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 protects transfers through ostensible ownership and through an interest the transferor acquires later, respectively?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 41 protects a qualifying transferee for consideration from an ostensible owner, where interested persons consented and the transferee acted in good faith after reasonable inquiry. Section 43 allows a transferee for consideration to elect to take a later-acquired interest, subject to the statutory conditions.

Option feedback

Option A

Section 41 concerns ostensible owners. Section 42 concerns a transfer by someone with authority to revoke a prior transfer.

Option B

Section 43 concerns the later-acquired interest and section 44 concerns a co-owner’s transfer. This does not match the subjects in the question.

Option C

Section 44 governs a co-owner’s transfer of their own share or interest. It does not concern a later-acquired interest.

Option D

Section 41 concerns ostensible ownership and section 43 concerns an interest later acquired by a transferor who represented authority to transfer.
