You should pay fees to us to get the case law. Any way please find the case law.

In the context and setting of section 4 the word �held � has to be understood as "possessed or occupied". If the possession or occupation is not benami, section 4 can have no application and as a sham transaction or bipartite transaction is not a benami. Section 4 does not apply to such a transaction; Ouseph Chacko v. Raman Nair, AIR 1989 Ker 317.
