The appellants/Corporation failed to disclose to the respondent the material defect about the non-existence of the independent 3 `Karam' passage to the property. Therefore, the appellants/ Corporation clearly acted in breach of Section 55 (1) (a) and (b) of The Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The aforesaid Section provides as under:
(1) The seller is bound- (a) to disclose to the buyer any material defect in the property [or in the seller's title thereto] of which the seller is, and the buyer is not, aware, and which the buyer could not with ordinary care discover;
(b) to produce to the buyer on his request for examination all documents of title relating to the property which are in the seller's possession or power;
20. A mere perusal of the aforesaid provision will show that it was incumbent upon the appellants/Corporation to disclose to the respondent about the non-existence of the independent passage to the Unit. It was also the duty of the appellants/Corporation to inform the respondent that the passage mentioned in the revenue record was not fit for movement of vehicles. The appellant also failed to produce to the buyer the entire documentation as required by Section 51 (1) (b) of the aforesaid Section. We are therefore satisfied
::8::
that the appellants/Corporation cannot seek to rely on the aforesaid provision of The Transfer of Property Act, 1882." "#((%!+$$( 5+ !+. ! (($++$ +$ % $ 0#$# + .( + $ ( D $ ! # +( *3(7#3 + .
