ADDL. DISTT. SUB-REGISTRAR SILIGURI vs PAWAN KUMAR VERMA .

The Supreme Court held that the registering authority under the Registration Act, 1908 is bound by the stamp duty assessment made by the court as per suit valuation, specifically under Section 47A of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. The Court clarified that once the court has fixed the value for registration, the Registrar cannot reassess it. The High Court's dismissal of the petition by the Additional District Sub-Registrar was upheld, affirming the lower court's decision that the valuation determined by the court must be adhered to for registration purposes.
