Vyom Garg & Anr vs M/S Shyam Lal Aggarwal & Sons & Ors on 23 February, 2010
12. Now, it is well settled through a series of judgments that in the absence of a registered
lease deed the tenancy is deemed to be on monthly basis (referred to Section 107 of the Transfer
of property Act and the Division Bench ruling in Dunlop India Ltd. vs. Sunil Puri & Others; 90
(2001) DLT 769 (DB). The defendant has right in contending that the terms of the lease deed
cannot be looked into since they are unregistered. Section 107 as well as Section 47 of the
Registration Act is such as to rule out the courts' scrutiny into their terms of such unregistered
lease deed. The only exceptions in such cases are that the document may be looked into for a
collateral purpose.
