Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision restoring the Trial Court's decree that declared the plaintiff as the owner of the entire land measuring 71 kanals 8 marlas based on a sale deed executed on 6th June 1975. The Court emphasized that the registered sale deed's description prevails over any prior agreements or interpolations made before registration. The Court reaffirmed the principle that ownership is determined by the registered document, aligning with the precedent set in Ram Saran Lall v. Domini Kuer.
