An overview on Actionable Claims and Related Legal Provisions in India

Abstract This paper offers a comprehensive examination of the concept of actionable claims under Indian law, primarily governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. It explores the nature and classification of actionable claims as a form of intangible movable property, emphasizing their relevance in claims involving unsecured debts and beneficial interests not in possession of the claimant. The paper delves into the statutory definition under Section 3 and analyzes essential distinctions between secured and unsecured debts. It further discusses judicial interpretations, essential characteristics, and the procedural aspects of transferring such claims under Section 130 and related provisions. Through various case laws, the study illustrates both the scope and the limitations of actionable claims, highlighting instances that fall within or outside the purview of the definition. Additionally, the paper reviews ancillary provisions relating to notice, liability, solvency, and assignment of rights under insurance policies, as well as statutory disqualifications affecting court officers. Concluding with a critical analysis, it argues for statutory reforms to clarify ambiguities regarding the nature of transactions constituting a transfer of actionable claims and to define the associated rights and liabilities more precisely. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of actionable claims and their operational framework within Indian property law.
