Transfer of Property Act, 1882
49. Transferee's right under policy
Where immovable property is transferred for consideration, and
such property or any part thereof is at the date of the transfer insured
against loss or damage by fire, the transferee, in case of such loss or damage,
may, in the absence of a contract to the contrary, require any money which the
transferor actually receives under the policy, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, to be applied in reinstating the property.
