Section 15 of OEA : Section 15: Transfers And Bequests To Persons Out Of Line Of Seccession

Explanation using Example

Imagine Mr. A is a Taluqdár who owns a large estate in Oudh. He decides to gift a part of his estate to his friend Mr. B, who is not a Taluqdár or Grantee. According to Section 15 of The Oudh Estates Act, 1869, if Mr. A had passed away without gifting the estate and without leaving a will, Mr. B would not normally be entitled to inherit the estate. Therefore, the transfer of the estate to Mr. B through the gift must follow the same rules as if Mr. B had purchased that part of the estate from someone who is not a Taluqdár or Grantee. This means that the normal rules of transfer and succession, such as those in the Transfer of Property Act or the Indian Succession Act, would apply to this gift to Mr. B.
