(Questions 66-69):
Rules:
A. 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 Begbmara, 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.
As a judge you would decide in favour of
Yes, Gurpreet will succeed because as mentioned in the Principle B, a moveable thing which is attached to the land or any building on the land, is a 'fixture', and the expensive Iranian carpet even after being a movable thing was used to cover the entire wooden floor of one of the bedrooms, and hence, was a fixture. By the virtue of Principle A, which asserts that when land is sold, all 'fixtures' on the land are also deemed to have been sold; the carpet was sold to Gurpreet and now, Khaleeda cannot take it away.
