Section 6 (TPA 1882) – What may be Transferred

Transfer of Property Act, 1882

Sec. 6 – What may be Transferred

🔹 Short Note (Hindi)

Section 6 batata hai ki kaunsi property legally transfer ki ja sakti hai aur kaunsi nahi. General rule yeh hai ki har wo property jiska malik haq rakhta hai, use transfer kiya ja sakta hai—lekin kuch exceptions bhi diye gaye hain jahan transfer allowed nahi hota.

🔹 Detailed Explanation (English + Hindi)

Section 6 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 states that any kind of property can be transferred, except those specifically restricted by law.
Property ka matlab hai tangible ya intangible asset, jisme present ya future interest ho.

Lekin kuch properties ya rights aise hain jo transfer nahi kiye ja sakte, jaise:

• Spes successionis (future hope of inheritance)
• Mere right to sue
• Personal rights
• Public office or salary
• Inalienable interests
• Judgeship or government posts
• Easements (except with dominant heritage)

Section 6 ka objective ye hai ki property rights clear, valid aur legal rahein, bina fraud ya illegal transfer ke.

🔹Main Conditions (Content)

1. General Rule:
   Every kind of transferable property can be transferred unless specifically barred.
2. Non-transferable Items Include:
   • Future inheritance expectation (Spes successionis)
   • Right to sue (legal claim for damages)
   • Public office or salary
   • Personal rights (like maintenance right)
   • Easement alone (unless attached to dominant land)
   • Mere chance, hope, or possibility
   • Transfer contrary to nature of interest
3. Transfer must be legal, valid, and enforceable.
4. Property must be in existence or recognized by law.

🔹 Legal Meaning (Simple Terms)

Section 6 ka simple matlab ye hai ki:

• Jo property aapke haq me hai aur law allow karta hai, aap use kisi aur ko transfer kar sakte ho.
• Jo property aapke control me nahi hai ya jiska sirf andaza hai (like future inheritance), wo transfer nahi ho sakti.

Example of transferable property:

• Land, house, leasehold rights, shares, patent, mortgage interest, rent receivable.

Example of non-transferable property:

• Aapki umeed ki jab dadaji marenge to zameen milegi — yeh transfer nahi ho sakta.

🔹Example

Ravi apni zameen Mohit ko bech deta hai — yeh valid transfer hai.
Lekin agar Ravi kahe ki “Mere tauji ki property jab unke marne ke baad mujhe milegi, mai wo abhi tujhe transfer karta hoon” — yeh transfer invalid hai, kyunki yeh sirf future possibility hai (Spes successionis).

🔹 Key Legal Points

• Transfer only when the property or interest actually exists
• Hope, possibility or chance cannot be transferred
• Public duties, salaries and personal rights are non-transferable
• Right to sue cannot be transferred
• Easement alone cannot be transferred independently
• Property must be legally transferable and not against law or morality

🔹 Nyay Neeti Advice

Property transfer tabhi karein jab aapka us par valid ownership ya interest ho.
Future expectation par contract karna galat hota hai aur court me enforce nahi hota.
Kisi bhi transfer se pehle title documents, legal rights aur restrictions check karna zaroori hai.
Galat transfer parties ke liye dispute aur fraud ka reason ban sakta hai.
