  1. What kind of property is transferable?
Verified Answer

Core Legal Answer & Context: The general rule under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, is that property of any kind may be transferred. However, this rule is subject to specific exceptions enumerated in Section 6 of the Act. These exceptions include a mere right to re-entry for breach of a condition, a public office, and pensions, which are expressly declared non-transferable. Therefore, any property that does not fall under these statutory prohibitions or other legal restrictions is transferable.

Relevant Statutes and Sections: Transfer of Property Act, 1882, Section 6 (What may be transferred).

Important Landmark Cases: Not applicable for a general principle, but various cases interpret the specific exceptions under Section 6.

Clear Conclusion: Any kind of property is transferable if not prohibited by law.
