Kaushik Premkumar Mishra vs Kanji Ravaria @ Kanji

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of land ownership and the validity of sale deeds under the Transfer of Property Act, emphasizing that a sale deed not registered due to stamp duty deficiencies does not extinguish the rights of the parties involved. The Court held that the appellants, despite the non-registration of their sale deed, retained their ownership rights over the suit land, as the respondent's subsequent conveyance deed was invalid. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, restoring the trial court's decision in favor of the appellants.
