https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308867 An unregistered lease of immovable property for a term exceeding one year was held unenforceable because section 107 of the Transfer of Property Act required registration. Section 53A did not confer an affirmative right to possession; it operated only as a defensive shield and could not support enforcement of rights under the unregistered transaction. Specific performance under section 27 of the Specific Relief Act was also unavailable because the pleading did not satisfy the statutory preconditions, including the required possession of the property as contemplated by that provision. The suit based on the unregistered arrangement was therefore not maintainable, and dismissal of the claim was upheld. en-us Mon, 08 Jan 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 28 Jul 2023 13:00:26 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308867 An unregistered lease of immovable property for a term exceeding one year was held unenforceable because section 107 of the Transfer of Property Act required registration.
