The expression 'goods' under Section 2(7) of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 includes :

A: Both movable and immovable property
B: Every kind of immovable property including actionable claims and money
C: Every kind of movable property other than actionable claims and money
D: All movable property including money.

The answer is: C

Explanation

The correct option is C: Every kind of movable property other than actionable claims and money.

This is the definition of 'goods' given in Section 2(7) of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930. According to this section, goods include stock and shares, growing crops, grass, and things attached to or forming part of the land which are agreed to be severed before sale or under the contract of sale. Actionable claims are claims that can be enforced by legal action, such as debts or negotiable instruments. Money is excluded from the definition of goods because it is the medium of exchange and not the subject matter of sale.

Option A is incorrect because goods only refer to movable property, not immovable property. Immovable property is defined as land, benefits arising out of land, and things attached to the earth or permanently fastened to anything attached to the earth.

Option B is incorrect because goods do not include any kind of immovable property, nor actionable claims and money.

Option D is incorrect because goods do not include money, as explained above.
