    Solution

    Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, codifies the equitable doctrine of part performance, protecting transferees who have taken possession of immovable property under an unregistered contract of transfer and have performed their part of the agreement. This prevents the transferor from disturbing the transferee's possession, serving as a shield (not sword) in defense against eviction claims.
