A property is divided into movable and immovable property. The
base definition of an immovable property as defined in The General
Clauses Act, 1897 U/S. 3(26), "Immovable property" shall
include land, benefits to arise out of land, and things attached to
the earth, or permanently fastened to anything attached to the
earth." An immovable property is also defined in various other
acts like Transfer Of Property Act,1882, Registration Act, 1908,
The Income Tax Act, 1961 etc.
Herein we shall deal with investigation of title required for
various purposes including but not restricted to sale, but also for
lease, sublease, mortgage. For the purpose of brevity the reference
of sale shall also mean to include purposes of lease, sublease,
license, mortgage where applicable.
