MANJABAI KRISHNA PATIL (D) BY LRS. vs RAGHUNATH REVAJI PATIL

The Supreme Court held that the agreement of reconveyance executed on 17.12.1966 was part of the same transaction as the sale deed executed on 29.11.1966 and thus was compulsorily registerable under the Registration Act. The Court found that the lack of registration rendered the agreement of reconveyance inadmissible in evidence and unenforceable, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellants were not entitled to specific performance. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower courts' rulings.
