S.KALADEVI vs V.R.SOMASUNDARAM .

The Supreme Court addressed the admissibility of an unregistered sale deed in a specific performance suit, emphasizing that under Section 49 of the Registration Act, an unregistered document cannot be received as evidence of a transaction affecting immovable property. The Court held that the plaintiff's claim for specific performance based on an unregistered sale deed was not maintainable, as the deed could not be used to establish the agreement for sale. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
