Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reiterated that transactions involving General Power of Attorney (GPA) Sales or Sale Agreement/General Power of Attorney/Will transfers (SA/GPA/WILL) are not valid modes of property transfer under the law, as they circumvent statutory requirements for registration and stamp duty. The Court emphasized that such transactions contribute to the generation of black money, the growth of land mafia, and the criminalization of civil disputes. The judgment reinforces the need for proper conveyance through registered deeds to uphold legal integrity in property transactions.
