Garden plants, including bushes and trees are also 'fixtures'.
Rule A. When land is sold, all 'fixtures' on the land are also deemed to have been sold.
Rule B. If a movable thing is attached to the land or any building on the land, than it becomes a 'fixture'.

She removes the elaborately carved door to the house after the sale has been concluded and claims that Gurpreet has no claim to the door. The door is question was part of Khaleeda's ancestral home in Nagercoil (Tamil Nadu) for more than $$150$$ years before she had it fitted as the entrance to her Beghmara house.
