https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168407 An arbitral award that, on its face, creates or declares rights in immovable property is compulsorily registrable under the Registration Act, 1908. The controlling test is the effect and purport of the award itself, not how the dispute is described by the parties. If the award is unregistered when the court is asked to act on it, section 49 prevents it from being received as evidence of the property transaction, and the court cannot pronounce judgment upon it under the Arbitration Act, 1940. Later registration does not retrospectively cure that defect for pending proceedings. en-us Thu, 30 Mar 1989 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:30:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168407 An arbitral award that, on its face, creates or declares rights in immovable property is compulsorily registrable under the Registration Act, 1908.
