Property Ownership Rule: Registry Alone Won’t Grant Ownership – Supreme Court’s Big Verdict

Image
Buying property is a dream for many in India. However, most people lack proper knowledge about the rules and laws associated with property transactions. Recently, the Supreme Court of India delivered a judgment that could significantly impact the process of buying and selling property. According to this ruling, just registering a property is not enough to prove ownership. Supreme Court's Verdict: What Was the Case? This verdict came in the case of "Mahnoor Fatima Imran vs. State of Telangana." In 1982, a cooperative housing society in Hyderabad purchased land through an unregistered sale agreement. Although the Assistant Registrar validated the agreement in 2006, the property was never formally registered.
