There must be a contract to transfer for consideration any immovable property.
The contract must be in writing signed by the transferor, or by someone on his behalf.
The writing must be in such words from which the terms necessary to construe the transfer can be ascertained.
The transferee must in part perform the contract and take possession of the property, or, of any part thereof.
The transferee must have done some act in furtherance of the contract.
The transferee must have performed or be willing to perform his part of the contract.
It is a settled law that Section
53A of Transfer of Property Act
confers no right on a party who was not willing to perform his part of the contract.
A transferee has to prove that he was honestly ready and was willing to perform his part under the contract.
The aim of incorporation of
doctrine of part performance in property law
in 1929 is to prevent fraud and injustice and has its root in the principles of equity, justice and good conscience.
