Legal Principles:
A. When land is sold, all 'fixtures' on the land are also deemed to have been sold.
B. If a movable thing is attached to the land or any building on the land, then it becomes a 'fixture'.
C. If a movable thing is placed on land with the intention that it should become an integral part of the land or any structure on the land, 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 Rs.60 lakh. 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 and Khaleeda used this light-coloured radiant carpet to negate some of the darkness in the room. Gurpreet , after moving in, realized this and files a case to recover the carpet from Khaleeda.

Solution

The correct option is C Gurpeet in both situations
Gurpreet in both situations.
As the above mentioned principle states that if the movable property is linked with the land or a part of land it becomes a fixture. And, when land is about to get sold fixtures with it are also deemed to sold with it. So, according to this Gurpreet is liable to get the Iranian carpet.

Garden plants, including bushes and trees are also 'fixtures'.
Rule A. When land is sold, all 'fixtures' on the land are also deemed to have been sold.

Factual Situation Khaleeda wants to sell a plot of land she owns in Beghmara (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 Rs.60 lakh. After completing the sale, she removes the expensive Iranian carpet which used to cover 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, realises this and files a case to recover the carpet from Khaleeda.
Assume that in the above fact scenario, Khaleeda no longer wants the carpet. She removes the elaborately carved door to the house after the sale has been concluded and claims that Gurpreet has no claim to the door. The door is question was part of Khaleeda's ancestral home in Nagercoil (Tamil Nadu) for more than 150 years before she had it fitted as the entrance to her Beghmara house.
