Land is transferable immovable property. "Transfer of Property" means an act by which a living person conveys property, in present or in future, to one or more other living persons, or to himself and one or more other living persons. "Living person" includes a company or association or body of individuals.
Section 154 of MLR Code 1966 state that "When any document purporting to create, assign or extinguish any title to, or any, charge on, land used for agricultural purposes, or in respect of which a record of rights has been prepared is registered under the Indian Registration Act, 1908, the officer registering the document shall send intimation to the Talathi of the village in which the land is situate and to the Tahsildar of the taluka, in such form and at such times as may be prescribed by rules made under this Code."
One of the objectives of land revenue administration is to recover the revenue. So it is obvious that failure to pay arrears of land revenue makes the holding liable to forfeiture. On forfeiture the occupancy ceases to be property of the occupant under section 72 of MLR Code 1966. The forfeited land shall not change hands by way of inheritance or by will.
Transfer of Property Act 1882 refers to certain kinds of transfer of property such as,
- Sale of property;
- Lease or renting of property;
- Mortgage of property;
- Gifting property and
- Exchange of property.
