The Warehousing (Development and Regulation) Act, 2007
18. Subsequent
negotiation of warehouse receipts. -
If a person having
sold, mortgaged or pledged goods that are in the custody of a warehouseman and
for which a negotiable receipt has been issued, continues in possession of the
negotiable receipt, the subsequent negotiation of it by that person under any
sale or other disposition of the goods to any person receiving the receipt in
good faith, for valuable consideration and without notice of the previous sale,
mortgage or pledge, has the same effect as if a previous purchaser, mortgagee
or pledgee of the goods, as the case may be, had expressly authorised the
subsequent negotiation.
