This document discusses attestation and notice under the Transfer of Property Act. It defines attestation as a witness signing a document to testify that they saw the executant sign it of their own free will. Certain documents related to mortgages and gifts require attestation by two witnesses. Notice can be actual, if one has definite knowledge, or constructive, if one would have known with reasonable inquiry. Constructive notice includes facts one would learn through registration, possession, or notice to an agent. Attestation and notice affect the validity of property transfers and claims.

CONTEMPORNEA EXPOSITIO EXTERNAL AID TO INTERPRETATIONShreya Chaurasia
Interpretation means the art of finding out the true sense of an enactment by giving the words of the enactment their natural and ordinary meaning.
It is the process of ascertaining the true meaning of the words used in a statute.
The Court is not expected to interpret arbitrarily and therefore there have been certain principles which have evolved out of the continuous exercise by the Courts. These principles are sometimes called ‘rules of interpretation’.
The object of interpretation of statutes is to determine the intention of the legislature conveyed expressly or impliedly in the language used.
Contempornea Expositio means that the meaning of words in a document are to be understood in the sense which they bore at the time of the document.
Contemporaneous exposition is the best and strongest in law. It is said that the best exposition of a statute or any other document is that which it has received from contemporary authority.
Contemporanea expositio est optima means usage or practice developed under a statute is indicative of the meaning ascribed to its words by contemporary opinion.
External Aid includes Historical Background,The original bill drafted and introduced,Legal Dictionaries,Debates in the Legislature,Judicial Construction etc.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. We are here…
1. Movable and immovable property
2. Attestation and notice
3. Actionable claim
4. Transfer of property
5. Restraints on transfer
6. Rule against perpetuities
7. Vested and contingent interest
8. Doctrine of election
9. Sale of immovable property
4. Relevance
• Properties are transferred by way of execution of
documents. We know that, as per Contract Act,
free will is necessary for a Contract to be valid.
• How does one ascertain that a person executed
a document on his free will?
• This is where attestation comes into picture.
• TP Act requires attestation, but not for all
documents.
• Mortgages and gifts need to be attested
• Documents effecting sales, exchanges and
leases need not be attested
5. Attest means
• Executant – a person who has a certain right
over a property and makes a document… to
make changes to his right over that property.
• Execute – the act of an executant writing and
signing on an instrument.
• ATTEST – As per TP Act, - that a person has
signed the document by way of testimony of the
fact that he saw it executed.
• The party who sees the document executed is a
‘witness’
6. For example
•
•
•
•
Shashi is the owner of a land in Thiruvanantapuram.
He wishes to mortgage the land in favour of Antony.
Shashi wants Sunanda to be a witness to this event.
While Shashi executes the mortgage deed in favour of
Antony… Sunanda being a witness to the event ‘attests’
over the mortgage deed.
• Shashi is the executant
• Sunanda is the witness
• Sundannda has attested the document. The attestation
is a testimony that Shashi executed the document in her
presence and out of his free will. This prevents coercion.
7. Sec. 3 of TP Act defines attestation
•
in relation to an instrument, means and shall be deemed
always to have meant attested by two or more witnesses
each of whom has seen the executant sign or affix his
mark to the instrument, or has seen some other person
sign the instrument in the presence and by the direction
of the executant, or has received from the executant a
personal acknowledgement of his signature or mark, or
of the signature of such other person, and each of whom
has signed the instrument in the presence of the
executant; but it shall not be necessary that more than
one of such witnesses shall have been present at the
same time, and no particular form of attestation shall be
necessary
8. Confusing?
• The language of Sec. 3 of TP Act is very
confusing.
• So, what we do is…
• Split up the various elements in the
provision and study them as “requisites of
a valid attestation”.
9. Requisites of a valid attestation
1.
2.
There must always be two or more witnesses
It is ordinarily necessary that each witness must see –
a)
b)
c)
3.
The executant sign / affix his mark (thumb impression) to the
instrument
Or some other person sign the instrument in the presence,
and by the direction, of the executant
Or the witness should have received from the executant a
personal acknowledgement of his (executant’s) signature /
mark or of a person signing on the behalf of the executant.
Thus, an attesting witness need not witness the actual
execution of the deed, in as much as he can attest on
the acknowledgement of execution by the executant
himself.
10. Requisites of a valid attestation
4.
5.
6.
7.
But, each witness must sign the instrument in the
presence of the executant
Further, each witness must sign only after the execution
is complete, otherwise it will not be a valid attestation.
[Sant Lal v. Kamla Prasad (1952) SCR 116]
All the attesting witnesses need not attest at same time.
No particular form of attestation is necessary. Thus, the
signature of an attesting witness need not appear in any
particular place. Thus, even if the witness signs the
document against the signature of the executant, where
he has executed the document, it is sufficient and
adequate attestation of the document [Kaderbhai
Ismailji v. Fatimabai]
11. Cases
•
•
•
•
Bhagwat v Gorakh
Kundan Lal v. Rofi Begam
Abdul Jabbar v. Venkata Sastri
Girja Dutt v. Gangotri Singh
• Leading Case
Kumar Harish Chandra Singh Deo v. Bansidhar
Mohanty: No provision of law debars money
lender from attesting a deed which evidences
the transaction where under the money was lent
12. Effect of invalid attestation
• Effect of invalid attestation – makes the deed of transfer
of property invalid.
• No property passes under it.
• Thus the document cannot be enforced in a court of law
• If the document is for mortgage, it can neither operate as
mortgage, nor as charge. But still it is admissible as
evidence of a personal covernant to repay debt [ Krishna
Kumar v. Kayashta Pathshala ]
• Leading Case: Padarth Halwai v. Ram Narain: Transfer
of property by Pardanashin woman, when the attesting
witness could not see her but could hear her voice; the
attestation was held valid.
14. Notice
• Notice means knowledge of a fact.
• In law, knowledge of a fact, affects one’s legal rights and
liabilities.
• Sec. 3 of TP Act enumerates 3 kinds of notices
• A person is said to have “notice” of a fact –
– When he actually knows that fact (actual / express notice)
– When, but for wilful abstentation from an enquiry or search which
he ought to have made, or gross negligence, he would have
known it (constructive or implied notice)
• Thus we have two types of notice:
– Actual notice
– Constructive notice
• Next, we discuss both in detail
15. Actual notice
• A person is said to have actual notice of a
fact, when he actually knows it
(what a definition, deserves an award!)
• Notice must be definite to constitute an
actual notice
• Vague reports / rumours do not amount to
notice
16. Actual notice
• Example: a legal notice given in a newspaper
that a certain property is under litigation, hence
should not be dealt with. This is a definite notice.
If one has read this, it is deemed that the person
reading this has an actual notice
• Example: a gossip being done in a tea shop
where some people discuss that a certain
property’s title is defective. This news is not
definite and not given by any reliable source.
Hence, it is not a notice at all.
17. Constructive notice
• Where a person ought to have known it.
• A person has constructive notice of all
facts of which he would have acquired
actual notice of all facts of which he would
have acquired actual notice had he made
those enquiries which he ought
reasonably to have made.
18. Legal presumption of constructive
notice arises in these circumstances
• 1. Wilful abstention from an enquiry or
search
• 2. Gross negligence
• 3. Registration
• 4. Actual possession
• 5. Notice to agent
19. Cases
• Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation v. Haji
Abdul Gafoor
• Md. Mustafa v. Haji Md. Isa
• HN Narayanaswamy Naidu v.
Deveeramma
• Ram Niwas v. Bano
• ML Abdul Jabbar Sahib v. H Venkata
