Question

"A" transfers a piece of land to "B" on the condition that "B" shall not transfer the land to anyone else for the next 10 years. In this case, "B" has no right to transfer the land to someone else for the next 10 years.

• A. It amounts to Conditional Transfer of Property.
• B. It amounts to Conditional Limitations on Transfer of Property.
• C. It amounts to Subsequent Transfer of Property.
• D. It amounts to conditions precedent in the Transfer of Property.

Hint:

Always distinguish between condition precedent (before transfer) and conditional limitation (restriction after transfer).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify nature of restriction.
The restriction imposed is not about transfer itself but limiting "B" from transferring to anyone else.

Step 2: Rule under TPA.
Such restrictions are categorized as conditional limitations on transfer under the Transfer of Property Act.

Step 3: Elimination.
- (A) Conditional transfer means dependent on fulfillment of condition.
- (C) Subsequent transfer means fresh transfer, not restriction.
- (D) Condition precedent is condition before transfer, not after.
Conclusion: The case falls under conditional limitations.
