Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the refusal to register a sale deed by the Sub-Registrar, which was challenged through multiple legal proceedings. The Court analyzed whether the procedural requirements and proof of vendor’s title were properly adhered to before refusal. The judgment underscores the importance of following due process in property registration and the role of appellate remedies. Ultimately, the Court upheld the authority of the Sub-Registrar to refuse registration if procedural conditions are not met.
