A registered assignment deed may operate retrospectively from its execution under Section 47 of the Registration Act, allowing an asset reconstruction company's assigned financial debt to be considered in a corporate insolvency application despite registration after execution.

Accordingly, rejection based on non-registration of the assignment deed or non-production of the trust deed cannot stand, and the insolvency application must be reconsidered on its merits. The issue of stamp duty under the Kerala Stamp Act remained undetermined.
