Section 54 Transfer of Property Act | Sale Deed Void Ab Initio for Failed Cheque Payment : Jharkhand HC
Jharkhand High Court rules that a sale deed under Section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act is void from the outset if the stipulated cheque payment fails and no consideration passes. The defendant must return the original deeds within three months, reinforcing that registration alone does not validate a transfer without actual payment.
