Section 2 of TPA : Section 2: Repeal Of Acts

Explanation using Example

Let's consider a hypothetical scenario where Mr. A sold his ancestral property to Mr. B in 1881. The Transfer of Property Act came into effect in 1882. Section 2 of the Act specifies that it does not affect any legal relations constituted before the Act came into force. Therefore, the sale of the property between Mr. A and Mr. B would not be governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, but by the laws that were in place before 1882. This means that any rights or liabilities that arose from that sale would be handled according to the previous legal framework, not under the provisions of the new Act.
