Property may be movable of immovable. The law that governs movable property is the law of domicile of the party, that is, lex domicilii. The law that governs immovable property is the law where it is situated, that is, lex situs. Immovables not only mean lands, but include all estates, interests and charges in and over lands. They include freehold and leasehold interests, freehold lands subject to a trust for sale though the sale has not taken place, rent charges, mineral rights, and also the interests of a mortgagee. However, rent charges arising out of an equitable claim, based on a contract between parties, partake of the character of a movable property, which can be recovered by an action in an Indian court, the presence of the defendant within its jurisdiction being the condition precedent. There is yet another well-established principle of conflict of laws that municipal courts refrain from exercising jurisdiction in respect of title to, or any kind of right or interest in, foreign immovables.
