 In cases involving protection under section 27(b) of the Specific Relief Act 1877 ('Act of 1877') the subsequent vendee who asserts that he is a bona fide purchaser i.e a transferee for value has to discharge the initial onus. The latter has to discharge the initial onus to the effect that; he had acquired the property for due consideration and thus is a transferee for value; he or she, as the case may be, has to show that the sale was for a price paid to the vendor and not otherwise; there was no dishonesty of purpose of tainted intention to (naeem)enter into the transaction thereby meaning that the latter had acted in good faith or bonafidely and, lastly, that he/she had taken reasonable care to inquire i.e had acted as a person of ordinary prudence in making inquiries expected of a purchaser who intends to acquire a good title for the value being paid for.
