Certain voluntary transfers to be null and void

Notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, all voluntary transfers effected after the date of publication of the Kerala Land Reforms Bill, 1963, in the Gazette, otherwise than— (i) by way of partition; or (ii) on account of natural love and affection; or (iii) in favour of a person who was a tenant of the holding before the 27th July, 1960, and continued to be so till the date of transfer; or (iv) in favour of a religious, charitable or educational institution of a public nature solely for the purposes of the institution, by a family or any member thereof or by an adult unmarried person owning or holding land in excess of the ceiling area, shall be deemed to be transfers calculated to defeat the provisions of this Act and shall be invalid: Provided that, without prejudice to any other right of the parties to any such transfer, when any purchase price is payable under section 56 or any compensation is payable under section 88 for any land covered by the said transfer, it shall be competent for the Land Tribunal to award to the transferee, out of the purchase price or compensation amount in respect of such land, such sum as the Land Tribunal may consider just and proper.
