KALAVAKURTI VENKATA SUBBAIAH vs BALA GURAPPAGARI GURUVI REDDY

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance of an unregistered sale deed under Section 77 of the Registration Act, 1908. The Court held that the First Appellate Court correctly decreed the suit for specific performance despite the appellant's claim of fraud, as the execution of the deed was established by reliable witness testimony. The Court emphasized that the unregistered deed does not preclude the enforcement of specific performance when the execution is proven, thereby upholding the lower court's decision.
