Transfer of Property Act, 1882
92. Subrogation
Any of the persons referred to in section 91 (other than the
mortgagor) and any co-mortgagor shall, on redeeming property subject to the
mortgage, have, so far as regards redemption, foreclosure or sale of such
property, the same rights as the mortgagee whose mortgage he redeems may have
against the mortgagor or any other mortgagee.
The right conferred by this section is called the right of
subrogation, and a person acquiring the same is said to be subrogated to the
rights of the mortgagee whose mortgage he redeems.
A person who has advanced to a mortgagor money with which the
mortgage has been redeemed shall be subrogated to the rights of the mortgagee
whose mortgage has been redeemed, if the mortgagor has by a registered
instrument agreed that such persons shall be so subrogated. .
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to confer a right of
subrogation on any person unless the mortgage in respect of which the right is
claimed has been redeemed in full.
