M/S Paul Rubber Industries Private ... vs Amit Chand Mitra

The Supreme Court examined whether a clause related to the purpose of a lease, contained in an unregistered deed of lease for immovable property with a five-year duration, can be taken into cognizance by the court. The Calcutta High Court had held that such a deed cannot be received as evidence of any transaction affecting the property. The Supreme Court's decision focused on the evidentiary value of unregistered lease agreements and the legal implications of relying on such documents. The Court emphasized the importance of registration for the admissibility of lease agreements affecting immovable property.
