Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Q.1
Q.1: Answer in 2-3 sentences each
20 Marks - 2 marks each
(a)What is the normal time of registration of a document?[2]
Answer
The rule is in Part IV (sections 23 to 27) of the Registration Act, 1908.
- Four months from execution. Under section 23, a document other than a will must be presented to the proper officer within four months from the date of its execution. Otherwise it is not accepted for registration. A copy of a decree or order may be presented within four months from the decree, or from when it becomes final.
- Several executants. Where several persons sign at different times, the document may be presented within four months from the date of each execution (section 24).
- Unavoidable delay. Presentation may be delayed by urgent necessity or unavoidable accident. The Registrar may then accept it if the delay does not exceed a further four months. A fine of up to ten times the registration fee is payable (section 25).
- Executed abroad. A document executed out of India may be presented within four months after its arrival in India (section 26).
- Wills. A will may be presented or deposited at any time (section 27).
The executants must also appear before the registering officer within the same period. A similar fine applies where appearance is delayed (section 34(1) and its proviso).
Why the time matters. A compulsorily registrable document that is never registered cannot affect the property (section 49). Once registered, it operates from its execution, not from its registration (section 47). In Hamda Ammal v. Avadiappa Pathar (1991) 1 SCC 715, a sale deed was executed on 9 September 1970 and registered on 26 October 1970. A creditor had attached the property in between. The sale prevailed, because registration related back to execution.
