This second appeal involves an important question of law as to the interpretation that should be placed on the words ‘transferee’ for value who has paid money in good faith and without notice of the original contract" in clause (b) of section 27 of the Specific Relief Act. The contention which found favour with the lower Courts is that the consideration for the subsequent transaction must be in money and not by way of adjustment as in the present case. In support of this reliance was placed on a judgment of Horwill, J., in Jamatrai v. Thukkappa1, where the learned Judge took the view that at any rate a portion of the consideration must be in the shape of money.
