Problem 2 Rules When land is sold, all 'fixtures' on the land are also deemed to have been sold. 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. She sells it to Gurpreet for sixty lakh rupees. After completing the sale, she removes the expensive Iranian carpet which used to cover the entire wooden floor of one of the bedrooms. The room had very little light and Khaleeda used this light coloured radiant carpet to negate some of the darkness in the room. Gurpreet, after moving in, realizes this and files a case to recover the carpet from Khaleeda. |
A) Khaleeda because while the rest of the building belongs to Khaleeda exclusively, the door is ancestral property and therefore the decision to sell it cannot be Khaleeda's alone
B) Gurpreet because the door is an integral part of the building as it is attached to it
C) Khaleeda because the door can be removed from the building and is therefore not attached to it
D) Gurpreet because the contract is explicitly for the whole house and since the door is part of house, it cannot be removed subsequent to the sale
