Rule 2
The subject of sale must be in the ownership of seller at
the time of sale. Hence, what is not owned by the seller
cannot be sold.
For Example, A sells to B a car which is
presently owned by C. Since the car is not
owned by A at the time of sale, the sale is void.

Rule 3
The subject of sale must be in the physical or constructive
possession of seller at the time of sale.
Constructive Possession means where the buyer has
not taken physical delivery of goods, but the goods are
under his control. And all rights and liabilities of the
goods have passed to him,i.e. the goods are at his risk.
For Example, A has purchased a car from B, B has not
physically handed over the car to A but has placed it at
a garage which is in control of A. A can access the car
whenever he wants to do so. The risk of the car has
practically passed to A, the car is in the Constructive
Possession of A,now A can sell the car to third party.
