Rajni Tandon vs Dulal Ranjan Ghosh Dastidar & Anr

The Supreme Court interpreted Sections 32 and 33 of the Registration Act, 1908, affirming that a registered deed of conveyance is essential for establishing ownership. The Court held that the appellant, having purchased the property through a valid deed, holds rightful ownership despite the respondent's claim of adverse possession. The judgment clarified that the absence of documentation proving the respondent's ownership undermines her claim, thus upholding the appellant's title to the property.
