The question paper reproduced here is the paper as set by the University of Mumbai at the Apr 2026 - 75/25 examination.

The answers in this volume state the law as it stands today, not as it stood when this paper was set, and in this subject three amendments make that distinction matter. A contract relied on for part performance under Section 53A must, since 24 September 2001, itself be registered, so every answer here on part performance gives that requirement and its date, and a textbook printed earlier states the position wrongly. Section 106, which supplies the duration of a lease where the contract is silent, was amended with effect from 31 December 2002 so that the period of a notice to quit runs from the date the notice is received, and the older rule that the notice must expire with the end of a year or month of the tenancy no longer applies. Specific performance, which is the real remedy in most of the sale problems set here, ceased to be discretionary when the Specific Relief Act was amended in 2018. Where a question turns on Section 41 and a benami holding, the answer also states the effect of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988 as amended in 2016, which now bars the real owner's suit in most cases. A repeated question from an older paper can therefore be answered from these pages as they are written.
