B.         If a moveable thing is attached to the land or any building on the land, then it becomes a 'fixture'.           Facts                                            Khaleeda wants to sell a plot of land she owns in Baghmara, Meghalaya and the sale value decided for the plot includes the fully furnished palatial six bedroom house that she has built on it five years ago.
