Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that Exhibit A-6 could not be considered a binding contract due to its incompleteness and lack of registration under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908. The Court found that the document did not secure the debts owed to the Bank as claimed, and thus the appeal was allowed. The judgment clarified that if the document was merely a memorandum, its recitals could be examined without being restricted by Sections 91 and 92 of the Evidence Act.
