Question

Which of the following is not a true statement in the context of Transfer of Property Act?

• A. The property that is going to be transferred should be free from encumbrances
• B. In a transfer of property, the transfer should be between two or more living persons.
• C. The transfer may be an unlawful object or an unlawful consideration
• D. The transferor who transfers the property must be entitled to the transferable property

Hint:

A transfer with an unlawful object or purpose is void under the Transfer of Property Act. Always check legality of purpose.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Under Section 6 of the Transfer of Property Act, a transfer of property must involve a lawful object and consideration. Any transfer involving unlawful object or consideration is void.
Thus, option C contradicts the legal provision and is false.
The other options reflect valid principles:
- Property may be encumbered, but it should be clearly disclosed.
- Transfer must be between two living persons.
- Transferor must have title or legal authority to transfer.
