DRAFTING, PLEADING, CONVEYANCING

Unit-I

Qs: What do you mean by ‘Pleadings’? explain the main principles of pleading.

Ans: pleading has an important place in the administration of justice and judicial process. When the suit or
case is brought in the court of law, we have to give facts of the case in the court, and this, what we give in
the court of law is technically called ‘pleadings’. What we plead in the court is called pleadings. The judicial
process is only accelerated by the pleading in the civil matters. The success and failure in the suit depends on
pleadings. When the pleadings is concise, legible an d well drafted, the judicial process becomes simpler and
faster. This is the reason that generally the job of preparation of pleading is handed over to skilled,
experienced and senior advocate.

What is Pleadings?

Order VI, Rule 1 of civil Procedure Code 1908 describes about pleading and it is stated that “pleading shall
mean plaint or written statement. Thus, pleadings may mean plaint and written statement both or we can say
pleading combines both, plaint and written statement. In other words, pleadings are statement in writing
drawn up and filed b y each party to a case, stating what his contention will be on trail and giving all such
detail as his opponent needs to know in order to prepare his case in answer.

According to P.C. Mogha- “Pleadings are such statements which are written and prepared by each of
parties in any suit. It includes all those things up on which the suit is framed and the defendant submits his
own written statement. (The Law of pleadings in India by P.C. Mogha).

The word ‘pleadings’ has been defined in Judicature Act, 1873 (Sec 100). According to this-

“Pleadings includes any writ or summon and any plaintiffs written statement about his claim of defendant
about his defence and written statements of plaintiff in any counter claim also comes under this.”

Thus, pleadings means plaint to the plaintiff and written statements of the defendant. Plaintiff demands relief
through plaint. In England it is called ‘Statements of Claims’. In written statement, the defendant denies the
demands made by the plaintiff in his plaint and submits his own defence in it. As a rule, in India, there are
only two pleadings in a suit:

(1) The statements of a plaintiff regarding his claim is called the ‘plaint’. In this ‘plaint’ the plaintiff puts his
case and cause of action with other necessary particulars as provided in the Civil Procedure Code.
(2) On the other side, a defence is called ‘written statement’. In the ‘written statement’ the defendant denies
or admits every material fact alleged by the plaintiff in the plaint and also states new facts which tell in
2

his favour, adding such legal objects as he wishes to take in his claim. These additional averments are
called ‘additional pleas’.

Objects of the Pleadings- the main object of pleading is that both the parties must know their cases and
allegations made by the other parties.

Accoprding to Lord Halsbury-“ whichever system of pleading is available, the main object of it is to make
aware and cautious to every parties about the questions up on which they have to submit evidences and
finally to argue on this.

He supreme court in the matter of M/s Ganesh Trading Co. Vs Moji Ram (A.I.R 1978 SC 484) has stated
two main objects of pleadings-

(a) The parties to know the facts of the cases , and


(b) To prevent deviations.

Presentation- it is essential to submit the pleadings at the right time, in the right court and in the prescribed
format. If pleading is not in the prescribed format or not supported with an affidavit then it is not presented
as per the prescribed manner (Bhakti Hari Nayak Vs Vidhyawati Gupta, A.I.R. 2005 cal 145).

The pleading must be prepared in such a way that minimum, possibilities of amendment may be there,
because the permission of amendments may be granted many times in the pleadings (Dhanpat Ram Vs
Indra Chnadra, A.I.R. 2005 N.O.C. 220 Raj.) and many times it may not, (Miss Mina Bhatnagar Vs First
Fast Track Court, Nainital, A.I.R. 2005 Uttaranchal 16).

Fundamental Rules of Pleadings- mainly two types of principles of pleadings at there- General Principles
and Fundamental Principles. Here we have to study about the fundamental rules of pleadings. The following
are the main principles or rules of pleadings provided in the Civil Procedure Code 1908-

(a) Every pleading must state only facts and not law.
(b) It must state all the material facts and material facts only.
(c) It must state the facts concisely, but with precision and certainty.
(d) It must state only the facts and not the evidence by which these facts are to be proved.
(a) Pleading must state only facts and not law- the first and foremost important principle or rule of
pleading is that only facts of the case to be enumerated in the pleading but not the law. It is the duty of
the court to find out the law, parties of the case need not to state that which thing is according to law and
which one is not in his pleading. The parties have to state only that facts on which their claim or defence
relies.
3

In Order-6 Rule-@ of Civil Procedure Code 1908, it is stated that every pleading shall contain and contain
only a statement in concise from the material facts on which the party pleading relies for his claim or defence
as the case may be. The plaintiff has to state only the material facts in his plaint by which the defendant
come to know what are the things he has to face in his suit.

Such things or custom need not be stated in the pleading which the public knows and which has the force of
law. (Gopal Vs hari Dutt Sharma, A.I.R. 1982 Raj. 21).

But, there are some exceptions of this rule. In the following matters, law is to be stated in the pleadings-

(a) Judicial notice,


(b) Legal objections, such as objections about Res-judicata, Limitation, estoppels, jurisdiction etc.
(c) Inference of law.

(b) State only material facts and material facts only- the second fundamental rule of pleading
is that every pleading must state material facts and only material facts. meaning thereby that
the facts other than the material facts should not be stated in the pleadings. Thus, this rule of
pleading requires two things:
1. Pleading must contain all material facts.
2. It must contain only material facts and not otherwise.

Which facts is material and which one is not, it is decided on the basis of nature of every case.
Every fact is material which is essential to the Plaintiff's cause of action or to the defendant's
defence. Facts which are not necessary to establish either a cause of action or the defence to it
are not material according to the provisions in orderVI Rule-2.
For Example- To give notice in the suit against the Government under Section 80 of Civil
Procedure Code, in the matrimonial matter, legal marriage is not performed between the husband
and wife etc. are the incidents of material facts which are to be stated in the pleadings.

(3) Facts not the evidence must be stated-This is the third fundamental rule of pleadings that
every pleading must state facts and not the evidence by which they are to be proved. Facts
are of two types:
(a) facts which the party is required to prove i.e. facta probanda;
(b) facts of evidence by means they are to be proved are termed as facta probantia.

The material facts upon which the suit of the party depends are said to be the facts to be proved
and they must be stated in the pleadings. Converse to this, evidence by which facts are required
to be proved must not be stated in the pleadings.
In this regard, order 6 rule 2 of Civil Procedure Code provides that every pleading shall contain
and contain only a statement in the concise form of the material facts on which the party
4

pleading relies for claim or defence, but not the evidence by which they are to be proved.

For Example-In the matters of specific performance of contract, the names of those persons need
not be given under whom the agreement of sale and purchase was performed, because this is
evidence related fact.
(4) Pleading must state the facts concisely but with precision and certainty-The fourth
fundamental rule of pleadings is that it must state the facts concisely but with precision and
certainty. Although the pleadings are required to be in brief but with accuracy and certainty.
Pleading must be clear and definite and should not be sacrificed for the sake of brevity. But
this does not mean that the facts, which required to be stated are so much brief that it may
looses its importance in the pleadings.
The Golden rule of pleadings is that the facts are to be stated in such a manner that essential
thing must not be left and irrelevant things not to be included in the pleadings.
Thus, there are four above stated fundamental rules of pleadings which are required to be
observed by the parties while drafting pleadings.

Q.2.Order VII (Plaint)


Ans. Plaint is the first step of civil judicial process. By presentation of plaint in the court, the
process of judiciary becomes activated. The Plaintiff demands relief from the defendant through
the plaint. The framing of a plaint is so much complete and mature that much success is ensured
to the parties.
Many things are required to be stated in the pleadings. Lackness of thing among this may
become a cause for the rejection of plaint.
Thus, we have to pay special attention to these contents of pleadings.

Contents of a Plaint-The plaint shall contain the following particulars:


(1) the name of the court in which the suit is brought;
(2) the name, description and place of residence, of the parties,
(3) nature of suit,
(4) suit number and the year:
(5) facts of the case;
(6) cause of action;
7) Jurisdiction,
(8) Limitation:
(9) Valuation of suit;
(10) Relief
(11) Verification;
(12) Signature and date;
(13) affidavit.
5

(1) Name of the Court-Format of the plaint begins with name of the court. Just after the space
left for pasting the court fee stamps the name of the court in which the suit is being filed has to
be written. Special precaution to be observed while writing the name of the court. Here, the name
of the judge need not be written, only the designation of the officer should be mentioned. Before
writing the name of the court, it must be seen that whether the court has the jurisdiction to hear
the suit or not. There are some matters in which the special court's have the jurisdiction to hear
the suit. Thus, this point need to be observed. The name of the court is to be written in this way.
For Example- In the Court of Civil Magistrate (Sr. Div.) Ajmer (Rajasthan).

(2) Description of the Parties- After the name of the court, the names of the parties are to be
mentioned in the plaint. There has to be two parties in a suit
(a) Plaintiff; and
(b) Defendant.
The party who institutes a suit is termed as Plaintiff and the party against whom the suit is
instituted is called 'Defendant'. In the same suit there may be more than one Plaintiff or
defendant as the case may be.
While making parties, this thing has to be observed that any essential parties are not to be left
and unwanted parties are not included, otherwise it may become the case of Misjoinder or Non-
joinder.

The judicial officers are not to be made parties in a suit. In the matter of Savitri Devi Versus
District Judge, Gorakhpur (A.I.R. 1999 SC 976) it was held that judicial officer is not to be
compared with the other officers. Judicial officers are not to be made parties like any other
officers in a suit.
The Government should not be made party where the relief is not claimed against it.
(Chandranathan Versus Asthar Rani, A.I.R 2000 Mad 60).
Similarly, where the relief is not claimed against the owner of the property he should not be
made party in suit (Chandrakant Bhogilal Versus Purshottam Mohan Lal, A.l.R. 2000 Bom.
18).
Description of Parties are to be given in this way-
'A’ S/o Shri 'B' Aged 60 years, Resident of Malviya Nagar, Jaipur.
Plaintiff
Versus-
‘X’ S/o Shri 'Y' Aged 47 years, Resident of Fateh Tiba, Jaipur
Defended
(3) Nature of Suit-After the name of the parties, the nature of the suit to be stated example
--------Suit for Recovery of Rs. 50,000/-
--------Suit for eviction from premises.
6

--------Suit for the specific performance of contract.


(4) Suit Number and the Year-The suit number and the year of institution of suit should be
given in a plaint to establish its identity easily. Suit number and year is to be written in this way-
For Example- Suit No.. of 2006.

(5) Facts-Facts are said to be an important part of the plaint. In fact, the whole of the claim and
relief depends on the facts. Facts means all those series of incidents by which cause of action
is created or suit has to be instituted.
Facts must be stated cautiously. Facts to be stated in concisely and clearly in the plaint. Law and
evidence is not to be stated along with the facts.
According to rule 6 and 7 of Civil Procedure Code, 1908, the facts must be given in this way
----------------That the defendant has taken loan of Rs. 30,000/- on 156.2005 for the purpose of
his trade and business and executed promissory note in his favour.
---------------That the interest rate @ 12 percent on the loaned amount would be payable on
demand.
That the plantiff has demanded Rupees from the defendant on 20.2.2006 but, he has refused to
pay the amount
(6) Cause of Action- After narrating complete story of the case or matter we give in one part
'cause of action. It is essential to be stated in the plaint ' cause of action' means the date on
which the necessity of filing a suit arose.
In Aziz Fatma Versus Munshi Khan' (A.I.R. 1980 All 277) it was held that it is the cause of
action on which the suit is instituted in the court. The same has been decided in the case Sardar
Balbir Singh Versus Atma Ram Srivastava, (A.l.R. 1977 All 211). cause of action is created
when the defendant has violated legal duties imposed on him.
Cause of action is to be stated in the plaint in this way—
"_______that the cause of action arose on date when the defendant has refused to pay the loan
amount to him."
(7) Jurisdiction-After the cause of action, the fact that the court has the jurisdiction to try the
present suit, should be described in the plaint. Mainly, the jurisdiction is of three types-

(a)PecuniaryJurisdiction;
(b)TerritorialJurisdiction;
©Jurisdiction over subject matter.
Generally, the pecuniary jurisdiction is fixed by law for every court. For example, in Rajasthan,
the court of civil judge (J.D.) has the jurisdiction to hear the matters up to the value of Rs.
25,000/-Similarly, the territorial jurisdiction is fixed on the basis of place of
residence, place of business of the defendant and the place of cause of action arose in the matter
etc. (Section 15-20 of Civil Procedure Code, 1908).
7

There are some matters in which the special court has exclusive jurisdiction to hear the matter,
example, Matrimonial matters, proceedings in insolvency matters,
matters relating to probate etc. the District Judge has only the jurisdiction to hear. Keeping all
these things in mind, the Jurisdiction to be described in the plaint.

Jurisdiction can be made clear with the help of cases. In the matter of Dishonour of Cheque, the
court has the jurisdiction under which local limits the cheque was dishonoured. (Chanana Steel
Tubes Pvt. Ltd. Versus M/s. Jaitual Tubes Pvt. Ltd., A.LR., 2000, H.P.48).

Similarly, in the matters of Life Insurance Policy, for the recovery of insured amount, the case
should be instituted in the court in which local jurisdiction the insured person is died. Jurisdiction
should be described in the plaint in this way---
".....that the both Plaintiff and defendant resides in the local jurisdiction of the court in the place..
....and the cause of action has also arisen in the local jurisdiction of the court, hence the court has
the jurisdiction to hear the suit."

(8) Limitation-It is essential to present a plaint within the prescribed time period. Time barred
suits are not admissiable. Thus, it is to be stated in the plaint that the suit is presented within
the
limitation period. The provisions of limitation act. is applicable in this respect. This should
be described in the plaint in the following way---
"..... that the suit is presented within the prescribed time period."

(9).Valuation of Suit-The Plaintiff must distinctly and separately give in his plaint the valuation
of his claim for the purposes of court fees and of jurisdiction. The valuation of suit is directly
related with relief claimed. In the matters of money suit, the amount of money claimed in the suit
is the valuation of the suit, while in the matters of injunctions and declaratory suits, either the
valuation of suit is fixed by the law or it is determined by the Plaintiff.

The court fees is payable according to the valuation of plaint. Therefore, it is required to be
mentioned in the plaint, for example-
"........That the valuation of the suit for the purpose of jurisdiction and court fee is Rs.. and the
court fee Rs. ...is paid accordingly."
10. Relief-Relief is the summary of the plaint. The plaint is instituted for the purpose of relief.
The relief sought should be accurately worded and proper care to be taken while claiming relief.
In certain matters the consequential relief has to be demanded in the plaint.

There is no prescribed format to claim relief. It is essential to plead the relief in the plaint
8

(Govind Pillai Madhav Kurup Versus Maithivan Pillai Padhamnath Pillai, A.I.R., 1990
N.O.C. 73 Ker).
It is also mentioned here that the court does not award more relief than claimed under the plaint
by the Plaintiff. (Rajendra Tiwari Versus Vasudev Prasad A.I.R. 2002 SC, 136).
Coloumn of relief should be written in this way- “...... hence, the Plaintiff prays that the decree to
be awarded in the favour of Plaintiff and the defendant must be ordered that-----
(a) The defendant should pay to the Plaintiff Rs.....
(b) The defendant should pay to the Plaintiff the interest@ 12% per annum from the date of
institution of suit to the date of payment of the money.
(c) The defendant should also pay to the Plaintiff the cost of the suit.
(d) Any other reliefs which the court may deem fit and proper be given to the Plaintiff.

(11) Verification-Verification is the last entry of the plaint. All those things described in the
plaint are believed to be true and correct by the Plaintiff in verification clause. Pleadings are
required to be stated under solemn declaration of correct facts while the false declaration of
statements are punishable under the law.
But, the suit is not rejected on the basis of any error in the verification, because this is the
irregularity which can be removed by the parties.
(Prasar Bharti Broadcasting Corporation of India versus Divya Jyoti Bose, A.I.R. 2000 Cal.
43).

The format of verification may be in this way-


".....I A S/o Shri B Aged 40 years, Resident of Lawa Sardar Sahar Verify the Para No. 1 to 10 of
the above plaint out of my own knowledge and belief and para no. 11 to 13 being of legal
nature, believed to be true upon the intormation received from my Counsel.

(12) Signature-Lastly the plaint 1S required to be signed with date by the Plaintiff. In order-6
rule -14 of C.P.C., 1908 it is mentioned that-
"Every pleading shall be signed by the party and his pleader Provided that where a party
pleading is, by reason of absence or for further good cause, unable to sign the pleading, it may be
signed by any person duly authorised by him to sign the same or to sue or defend on his behalf."

(13) Affidavit-According to latest amendments in the civil procedure Act., 1908, as per order 6,
every plaint should be supported with an affidavit. If it is not supported by an affidavit, then it
will be deemed that it is not presented in proper manner.
In Bhakti Hari Nayak Versus Vidhyawati Gupta, (A.L.R. 2005, Cal 145), the Kolkatta High
Court held that error in affridavit cannot be corrected on back date.
Thus, the above stated entries are required to be made in the plaint.

Qs. Order VIII (Written Statement)

Ans. Introduction:-

First of all, we should know that what is written statement. Actually, it is a pleading of the defendant in the
answer of the plaint led by the plainti against him. It is a reply statement of the defendant in a suit specically
denying the allegations made against him by the plainti in his plaint. The provision regarding the written
statement has provided in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.

Meaning:
The expression “Written Statement” has not been dened in this code. It is a term of specic meaning
ordinarily signifying a reply to the plaint led by the plainti. In other words, it is the pleading of the defendant
wherein he deals with the material fact alleged by the plainti in his plaint and also states any new fact in his
favour or takes legal objections against the claim of the plainti.

Who may file written statement:-

A written statement may be filed by the defendant or by his duly authorized agent. In the case of more than
one defendants, the common written statement led by them must be signed by all of them. But it is sucient if
it is veried by one of them who is aware of the facts of the case and is in a position to le an adavit. But a
written statement led by one defendant does not bind other defendants.

Time limit for ling written statement:-

A written statement should be led within thirty days from the service of the summons on him. The said
period, however, can be extended up to ninety days,(Rule -1). A defendant should present a written statement
of his defence in the said period.

Defences in written statement:

In written statement defendant can specically deny the allegations made in the plaint by the plainti against
him. Besides this, he also can claim to set-o any sums of money payable by the plainti to him as a counter
defence (Order 8 Rule 6). Further, if the defendant has any claim against the plainti relating to any matter in
the issue raised in the plaint, then he can separately le a counter-claim along with his written statement. It is
provided in Order 8 Rule 6A to 6G of the code.

Particulars: Rules 1-5 and 7-10

Drafting a written statement is an art so it should be drafted carefully and artistically. Before proceeding to
draft a written statement it is absolutely necessary for the defendant to examine the plaint carefully.
10

Special rules of defence:-

Rules 2 to 5 and 7 to 10 deal with special points regarding the ling of a written statement;

1. New facts, such as the suit is not maintainable, or that the transaction is either void or voidable in law, and
all such grounds of defence as, if not raised, would take the plainti by surprise, or would raise issues of fact
not arising out of the plaint, such as fraud, limitation, release, payment, performance or facts showing
illegality, etc. must be raised. (Order 8 Rule 2).

2. The denial must be specie. It is not sucient for a defendant in his written statement to deny generally the
grounds alleged by the plainti, but he must deal specially with each allegation of fact which he does not
admit, except damages.

3. The denial should not be vague or evasive. Where a defendant wants to deny any allegation of fact in the
plaint, he must do so clearly, specially and explicitly and not evasively or generally.

4. Where every allegation of fact in the plaint, if not denied specically or by necessary implication, or stated
to be not admitted except as against a person under disability. The court may, however, require proof of any
such fact otherwise than by such admission.

5. Where the defendant relies upon several distinct grounds of defence or set-o or counterclaim founded upon
separate and distinct facts, they should be stated separately and distinctly.

6. Any new ground of defense which has arisen after the institution of the suit is a presentation of a written
statement claiming a set-o or counterclaim may be raised by the defendant or plainti in his written statement
as the case may be.

7. If the defendant fails to present his written statement within the time permitted or relaxed by the court, the
court will pronounce the judgment against him or pass such order in relation to the suit as it thinks t and a
decree will be drawn up according to the said judgment.

8. No pleading after the written statement of the defendant other than by way of defense to set-or
counterclaim can be led.

Unit-II

Qs. Execution Petition

The word ‘execution’ means implementation or enforcement of the order or judgment or order
passed by the competent Court. A Decree means conclusiveness, or an operation of a judgment
and the execution of a Decree is complete when the decree-holder gets satisfied as to its
enforcement against the judgment-debtor i.e. receiving of the awarded amount or property.

It is the way by which a decree-holder compels the judgment-debtor to carry out the mandate of
the Decree. To take the benefit of a decree, execution proceedings – an Application under Order
XXI of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) must be filed before the appropriate
court/authority within 12 years from the date of Decree.

The general rule as laid down under Section 38 of CPC is that the Decree may be executed either
by the court which passed it or by the court to which it is sent for execution. Once the Decree is
obtained, depending on the nature of the case, the Decree-holder can choose its mode of
execution of the Decree under Section 51 – 54 of the CPC.

Execution

The term “Execution” is not defined in the Code of Civil Procedure. It basically means the
process for enforcing the decree that is passed in favour of the decree-holder by a competent
court.

As per Rule 2 (e) of Civil Rules of Practice “Execution Petition” means a petition to the Court
for the execution of any decree or order.

As per Rule 2(f) Civil Rules of practice “Execution Application:” means an application to the
Court made in a pending execution petition and includes an application for transfer of a decree.

a magistrate for taking any action."
Generally, the police report is not a complaint. But, a report made, by a police officer in a case
which discloses, after investigation, the commission of a non-cognizable offence shall be deemed
to be complaint, and the police officer by whom such report is made shall be deemed to be the
"Complainant'.
In the case of ‘State of Bihar Versus Chander Bhuhsan Singh' (A.I.R. 2001 SC 429), the
Supreme Court has considered the inquiry report submitted by the officer of Railway protection
force under section 8 of Railway Property (Illegal Possession) Act, 1966, as a complaint.

Unit-III

Qs. Conveyancing: Introduction, Component parts of a deed, Attendant requirement of


execution, Description of property how to be made. Definition, alteration and registration
of Sale.Sale deed.

Ans. Definition of Conveyancing

The art of “conveyancing” is of English origin. The word “To convey”means, to transfer, to
make over. The word conveyancing means and denote an instrument or deed through which one
or more living person transfer his or their interest in present or in future in or upon an immovable
property to one or more living persons.

History of Conveyancing

In ancient times in England the deed writing was optional continued to remain optional until the
time of King Charles II, particularly the case in which the deed was required not to be under seal.
Writting was required only in the great matter of importance. It was only during the reign of
King Charles II that the British Parliament enacted in 1677 a legislation requiring writting for
creation and transfer of the interest in landed property with an exception in case of lease for less
than three year. The Real Property Act of 1845 require all grant of landed interest to be made by
writting which became known as “conveyancing”. The present form of conveyancing is based on
the conveyance of Land Act of 1845 and the Law of Property Act 1925

In India the form of conveyancing are based on the present English forms. No legislation in India
has ever been passed on the law of conveyancing. The condition of drafting of conveyancing in
mofussil India is deplorable. It is only in then presidency town (metropolitan cities) of Bombay,
Calcutta and Madras the work of drafting of the conveyancing remained in the hand of solicitors
and barristers well tarined in the field of drafting on the lines of English conveyancing and it still
contiunes on the same pattern and is satisfactory. But the Mofussil Town the task of drafting of
conveyancing remain and continues to remain in the hands of “deed writer’, ‘scribes’ or
‘scribers’ who have no legal knowledge but have adopted the profession of deed writing. So, the
‘deeds’ in Mofussils generally and commonly suffer from so many defects and sometimesthese
60

defects become incurable. India at present needs comprehensive legislation in this direction as it
is in England so that the defect can be rectified and the work may remain in the hands of the
persons having knowledge of law.

Deed
In a broad sense the ‘deed’ means something done or performed which is synonymous with
‘act’. deed means solemn act denoting document, and it may be define as an instrument written
on parchment or on a paper executed, signed sealed and delivered by the executant. A document
or an instrument through which n present or future interest in an immovable property is
transferred by one or more living persons to another living person or persons is called deed. It is
called a deed because it is considered the most solemn and authentic act that a person can
possibly perform in relation to his property. Statements made in deeds may amount to admission
and may operate as estoppel in certain circumstances.

In Halsbury’s Law of Englansd, a deed has been defined as an instrument written on parchment
or paper expressing the intention of some person named therein who make assurance of some
interest in property, or of some legal or equitable right, title or claim, or undertake or enter into
some obligation, duty or agreement enforceable at law or in equity, or to do some other act
affecting the legal relation or position of a party to the instrument.

Object and Function of Conveyancing

a. Movable property may be physically given and taken by actual delivery, while this is
not possible in case of property in case of immovable properties. Thus, conveyancing
is that branch of the law of transfer of property which deals with the mode of and
form of transfer to which both transferor and transferee have agreed upon.

b. Its main object is to enable the owner of real property to make voluntary transfer of
their right, title and interest therein for some specific purpose and for a specified
period. Such transfer are not otherwise possible than by conveyancing.

c. It incorporates the expressions of the intention of the parties to the deed of


conveyance so that accordingly it shall take effect. In case of any doubt, dispute,
ambiguity and susceptibility, the real intention of the parties may be discovered from
the words, phrases and the expression used in the deed.
d. A transferor may have passed the property intending to pass; but if he has not
expressed himself in suitable words of the language, the deed may be defective or
susceptible of two or more constructions; and so the benefits of the transfer may be
lost to the transferee. Secondly, where any adverse claimant interposes before the
transferee, may get actual legal possession of the transferred property , it may be quite
possible that the transferor with all his willingness may not to be able to help the
transferee.
61

e. It helps the Court and judicial tribunals to determine any dispute if subsequently
arises between the parties to the deed.
f. It serves the purpose of both transferor and transferee in protecting their interests. It
protects the interest of the transferee from any precedent and /or subsequent acts or
omissions of the transferor or any other person claiming through or under him against
the expressed intention of the grant and the covenant of the deed; and likewise, the
interest of the transferor is also protected from any subsequent acts or omission of the
transferee.
g. It is a document of title to the property and forms the basis of a record of rights
maintained by the Government. It is, also, a documentary piece of evidence.

COMPONENTS OF DEEDS

An ordinary deed of transfer may conveniently be divided into the following parts :Description of the deed;
Date; Parties; Recitals; Testaturn; Consideration; Receipt; Operative words; Parcels; Exception and—R-
eservations (if any); Habendum; Covenants (if any); Testimonium.

A) DESCRIPTION OF THE DEED

All deeds should be described by the name of the transaction which they evidence, such as “THIS DEED OF
MORTGAGE”, THIS DEED OF SALE”, THIS LEASE”, THIS DEED OF GIFT”, etc. When the deed is of
a complex character and evidences different transactions known by different legal names, or the conveyances
is not sure what name should properly be given to it, it would be best to describe it simply as “THIS DEED”.
The description is usually written in capitals.

B) DATE

After the description of the deed is stated, the date on which it is executed, thus: “THIS LEASE made on the
first day of February one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine.”

The date of a deed is the date on which it is singed by the party or parties executing it. When there is only
one party to a deed, as in the case of deed poll, or when all the parties sign it on one and the same date, or
when, though there are several parties to a deed, all do not sign and those who sign do so on one date, there
is no difficulty. But if several parties to a deed sign it on different dates, the question is which date should be
entered as the date of deed. The practice is to regard the last of such dates as the date of the deed.

The date should, in order to avoid mistake and risk of forgery, be written in words and not in figures. Figures
may be added within parenthesis, if desired thus –

“The first day of March one thousand nine hundred ninety nine (The Ist March, 1999)”.

In every case in which a deed is executed by more than one person, the date on which each signs
the deed must be shown in the deed, preferably against his signature.
62

C) PARTIES TO THE DEED

Transferor and transferee

After the date, the names and description of the parties to the deed are mentioned. Who are the necessary and
proper parties to a deed depends on the circumstances of each case. Although a transferee is not a necessary
party, and a deed will not be invalid or ineffective if he is not mentioned as such, except in the case of a
lease, he is certainly a proper party. It is always advisable to make him a party.

The form, in which the parties will be described in the beginning of the deed. Would thus be as
follows:

“This SALE DEED Is made on the_______day of _______between AB, etc. (hereinafter called
‘the vendor’) of the one part and CD, etc., (hereinafter called ‘ the purchaser’), of the other part.”

D) RECITALS

Recitals are of two kinds : (1) Narrative recitals, which relate the past history of the property transferred and
set out facts and instruments necessary to show the title and the relation of the parties to the subject-matter of
the deed; and (2) Introductory recitals, which explain the motive for the preparation and execution of the
deed.

Form of Recitals

Recitals generally begin with the word “Whereas”, but, when there are several recitals, one can either repeat
the word before every one of them, by beginning the second and subsequent ones with the words “And
Whereas”, or divide the recitals into numbered paragraphs with the word “Whereas” at the top.

E) Testatum

The next Part of a deed consists of the operative part. It commences with a witnessing clause termed the
“testatum”, which refers to the introductory recitals of the agreement (if any) and also states the
consideration (if any) and recites acknowledgement of its receipt. The witnessing clause usually begins with
the words “Now this deed witnesses”. These words of testatum are of no importance as affecting the
operation of the deed and their sole use is to direct attention to the object which the deed is intended to serve
several objects, use the words “as follows” after the testatum, thus:

“Now this deed witnesses as follows:”

F) CONSIDERATION

As contracts are necessarily for consideration (Sec. 10 of the Contract Act), it is advisable to express the
consideration. This is necessary in many cases of transfer for ascertaining the stamp duty payable on the
deed as Sec. 27 of the Indian Stamp Act requires that the consideration should be fully and truly set forth in
63

the deed. The penalty for omission to comply with this requirements is a fine which may extend to RS. 5,000
(vide Sec. 64).

H) OPERATIVE WORDS

Then follow the real operative words which very according to the nature of the estate and of the
transaction. What words are necessary in a particular kind of transaction will be dealt with in the preliminary
note to the precedents relating to that kind of transaction.

Parcels

This is a technical expression meaning description of the property transferred and it follows the operative
words. Care must be taken, on the one hand, to include in the particular description or in general words, all
the lands, etc., Which are intended to pass so that no doubt may arise as to the extent and operation of the
deed; and on the other hand not insert words which will pass more than what is intended.

Map : Sometimes it is necessary to have a map or a plan of the property in order to avoid mistake about
its identity and to indicate the actual property conveyed with greater definiteness and precision. A map
referred to in a transfer deed is treated as incorporated in the deed, and if it is drawn to scale and demarcates
the boundaries clearly it is not permissible to attempt to correct them with reference to revenue records.

Great care should be taken in describing the property, as a slight mistake or omission may cause immense
loss to a party and if the property is described both in the body and the schedule, a conflict between the two
should be carefully avoided.

I) EXCEPTIONS AND RESERVATIONS

All exceptions and reservations out of the property transferred should follow the parcels.

An exception is something in existence at the date of transfer which, if not expressly excepted, would pass
with the property as described in the parcels, such as trees.

K) HABENDUM

This is familier “ to have and to hold” (in Latin, Habendumet tenendum) clause of the English precedents. In
India such phrases as ‘to have and hold” or such an expression as “to the use of the purchaser” are not strictly
necessary but there is no harm in continuing the established practice.

L) CONVENANTS AND UNDERTAKINGS

If the parties to a transfer enter into covenants, such covenants should be entered after the Habendum. Where
several covenants follow each other, they may run on as one sentence, each being introduced with the words
“ and also” or by the words “ First”, “Secondly”, etc. or they may be sent out in paragraph form with the
heading.
64

“The vendor hereby covenants with the purchaser as follows—”

Sometimes the terms and conditions of a transfer cannot be conveniently separated into transferor’s
covenants and transferee’s covenants. In such cases, it would be better to include all the covenants under one
head as parties’ covenants thus: “The parties aforesaid hereto hereby mutually agree with each other as
follows:”

M) TESTIMONIUM

The last part of a deed is the testimonium which sets forth the fact of the parties hving signed the deed.
This is not an essential part of the deed, but as it marks the close of the deed there is no harm in continuing
the established practiee. The usual English form of testimonum is as follows:

“In witness whereof the parties hereto have hereunto set their respective hands and seals the day and year
first above written.

The use of seals is not common in India except in cases of companies and corporations, and the proper form
in simple language would be somewhat as follows: “In witness whereof the parties hereto have signed this
deed on the date first above written.”

N) SIGNATURES AND ATTESTATION

After testimonium should follow the signatures of the executants and those of attesting witnesses. If exeutant
is not competent to contract or is a juristic person, the deed must be signed by the person competent to
contract on his or its behalf.

Sale deed

The word ‘SALE’ defined under Section 54 of “The Transfer of Property Act, 1882” is a transfer of
ownership in exchange of price paid or promised or part-paid and part-promised. It means absolute transfer
of tangible immovable property by the vendor to the purchaser by entering into a contract for sale wherein
both the parties will settle the terms and conditions of transfer. Such transfer can be done through the
registered document and thus delivery of the property can be by handing over the actual possession of the
immovable property by the vendor to the purchaser or the person legally authorised by him.

The word ‘SALE DEED’ otherwise called as ‘Conveyance Deed’ is a legal written document executed by
the vendor and the purchaser which evidences the sale and transfer of ownership of the tangible immovable
property. A sale deed is governed by ‘The Registration Act, 1908’ and is an important document for both the
buyer or the transferee and the seller or the transferor. A sale deed is executed after the execution of the
agreement to sell, and after compliance of various terms and conditions between the seller and the purchaser
mutually. A sale deed is the main document which gives details of how the seller got the property, at what
consideration the seller is selling the property and assurance to the purchaser that the property is free from
65

any encumbrances, liabilities or indemnity clauses. A sale deed acts as a essential document for the further

agreed between the seller and the buyer which has to be paid by the buyer to the seller on the execution of
sale deed. A sale amount should be clearly stated in sale deed as agreed in the agreement to sell so that there

charges, water bills, cess, society charges, maintenance charges and all other charges relating to the property

consideration, by one person, called the donor, to another, called the donee, and accepted by or on behalf of

Registration of gift of immovable property- As mentioned above, gift can be of immovable as well as
movable property. However, in the case of immovable property it is mandatory to register the instrument of
the gift deed. Two witnesses have to be present during registration at the sub-registrar’s office to attest the
deed. Once the registration process is complete, transfer of title can be made. Stamp duty of recommended
value has to be paid for registration of Gift Deed. The Stamp duty charges differ from state to state and is
also based on gender. Few states offer a concession in stamp duty if the property is gifted to family member.

Registration of gift of movable property- Registration of gift deed for movable property is optional. Thus,
a simple letter drafted by the donor describing the gift deed and an acceptance letter by the done would be
sufficient to make the transfer of movable property valid. The Gift of movable property can be made by a
registered deed or by mere delivery of the property.

Time limit for registration of a gift deed- a gift deed has to be presented for registration within 4 months
from the date of execution. If a gift deed is executed by several persons at different times then that document
has to be presented for registration and re-registration within 4 months from the date of each execution.

Sub Registrar only, (Whenever a person signs the document and his attorney presents/ admits execution).

4. In case an attorney under a valid Power of Attorney himself signs a document, he may, as an executing
(signing) party present/admit execution of a document though it is attested by a Notary, unless the text of the
power specifically excludes such powers

5. Foreign Power of Attorney should be got stamped by the Collector after its receipt in India within
prescribed time of 3 months
