Headnote	Bengal Money Lenders Act, 1940: s.37A – Suit by appellants for ejectment of respondents from suit property – Stating that the respondents (original owners) had sold the suit property to ‘B’ and thereafter ‘B’ sold the property to predecessor-in-interest of the appellants – Respondents countered the case of appellants and also filed title suit stating that the property was mortgaged with conditional sale, by them in favour of ‘B’ against a loan and that even before expiry of redemption period, ‘B’ in collusion with the appellants entered into agreement to sell the property to the appellants – Trial court dismissed the suit of appellants and decreed the suit of respondents placing reliance on s.37A of Bengal Money Lenders Act and holding that the sale by respondents to ‘B’ was a mortgage with conditional sale – High Court confirmed the order of trial court – On appeal inter alia contended that s. 37A since is contained under State Act is repugnant to central law i.e. s.58(c) of Transfer of Property Act – Held: The respondents cannot be non-suited for inapplicability of s. 37A as the respondents had sought reliefs relating to redemption – Section 58(c) of Transfer of Property Act when read with s. 37A of Money Lenders Act, it is clear that the legislature intended to override the effect of proviso to s. 58(c) by enacting s. 37A – s. 37A is traceable to the Entry ‘Transfer of Property’ in the Concurrent List and not to ‘money lending’ in State List of VII Schedule – Even if there is inconsistency between s.58(c) of Transfer of Property Act and 37A of the State Act, in view of the assent given by the President, the matter falls u/Art. 254(2) of the Constitution and therefore, s. 37A of the State Act will prevail – Transfer of Property Act, 1882 – s. 58(c) – Constitution of India – Art. 254(2), VII Schedule.
