SC Gives a Clear Answer"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<div><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:14pt\">Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice N.V. Anjaria of the Supreme Court have clarified that the legal presumption in favour of a registered sale deed cannot be overturned merely because of minor inconsistencies in the testimony of an attesting witness.<\/span><\/div>\n \n \n \n <div style=\"text-align:center\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:14pt\"><\/span><\/div>\n \n \n \n <div><strong><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Minor Witness Error:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n \n \n \n <div><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:14pt\">The case concerned agricultural land in Haridwar. The Supreme Court disagreed with the consolidation authorities and the High Court, which had refused to recognize the appellants&rsquo; title because of a discrepancy relating to an attesting witness.<\/span><\/div>\n \n \n \n <div>\n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The certified copy of the sale deed described the witness as &ldquo;Baru, resident of Nihandpur Suthari&rdquo;. However, when the witness testified nearly 40 years later, he described himself as &ldquo;Baru, son of Nathu, resident of Nasirpur Kalan&rdquo;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Small Discrepancies Don&rsquo;t Matter:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n \n \n \n <h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Justice Mishra, writing for the Bench, disagreed with the authorities and the High Court. He observed that the inconsistencies in the witness&rsquo;s testimony were minor and could not defeat the presumption of validity attached to a registered sale deed. The Court further clarified that this presumption arises from the registration of the sale deed and not from its attestation by witnesses.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n \n \n \n <h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Sale Deed Need Not Be Attested<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>The Court observed<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:14pt\">&ldquo;&hellip;attestation is not a statutory requirement for the validity of a sale deed. Unlike instruments such as wills or gifts, a sale deed does not derive its validity from attestation. Consequently, minor discrepancies relating to the particulars of an attesting witness cannot, by themselves, render the execution of a registered sale deed doubtful, particularly where the document otherwise carries the statutory presumption attached to registered instruments.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court emphasized that when the certified sale deed itself described the witness as &ldquo;Baru resident of Nihandpur Suthari&rdquo;, a small inconsistency in the witness&rsquo;s testimony given decades later could not justify doubting the genuineness of the document. This was especially so because a registered sale deed carries a &ldquo;formidable presumption of validity and genuineness.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>How the Dispute Began<\/strong>:<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The dispute arose from a registered sale deed dated June 4, 1957. The appellants claimed possession of the land on the basis of that deed and sought mutation of their names in the revenue records.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Authorities Rejected the Claim:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">However, the consolidation authorities refused to recognize the transaction. They held that the execution of the sale deed had not been proved and that the transfer violated Section 154 of the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Supreme Court <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>disagreed <\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">with <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>both<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"> findings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court explained that under the law applicable in 1957, a transfer made in violation of Section 154 was not automatically void; it was only voidable. Therefore, although the purchaser could face ejectment proceedings by the Gaon Sabha, the transfer itself remained legally effective unless it was set aside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Only Void Documents Can Be Ignored:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Relying on <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em>Kripashanker v. Director of Consolidation<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"> and other precedents, the Bench reiterated that consolidation authorities can ignore only a document that is void. A document that is merely voidable continues to remain effective unless it is set aside by a competent civil court.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>1981 Changes Not Applicable:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court further held that amendments introduced in 1981, which made such transfers void and provided for automatic vesting of the land in the State, could not be applied retrospectively to invalidate a sale deed executed in 1957.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Sale Deed Upheld:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n \n \n \n <h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#434343\">Finding that there were no allegations of forgery, coercion, or fraud, and noting that a heavy burden lies on those seeking to challenge the statutory presumption attached to a registered sale deed, the Supreme Court set aside the orders passed by the authorities and the High Court.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Court directed that the appellants&rsquo; names be entered in the revenue records.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Case Details:<\/span><\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1SfHFGPa-6ETZyq-q12Gr0_ahk9oGk_4E\/view?usp=drivesdk\" style=\"text-decoration:none\"><span style=\"font-size:13pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1155cc\"><strong>Sarafat Ali (Dead) Through LRs &amp; Ors. v.
