Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a sale deed executed prior to the registration but after the attachment of the property does not obstruct the execution of a decree, as per Section 47 of the Registration Act. The Court clarified that the vendee's rights relate back to the date of execution of the sale deed, thus protecting her interests under Order 38 Rule 10 of the CPC. The appeal was allowed, reversing the High Court's decision and affirming the trial court's decree in favor of the appellant.
