Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that while an unregistered rent deed cannot be the sole basis for recovery of rent under the Registration Act and Transfer of Property Act, other uncontroverted evidence can support the claim for rent recovery. The Court emphasized that the status of the parties as landlord and tenant can be established based on undisputed facts, allowing for the decree for recovery of rent to be upheld despite the inadmissibility of the rent deed. The High Court's decision was set aside, and the appeals were allowed.
