Shanmugam vs Rajeswari on 12 September, 2017
12.Per contra, Mr.D.Selvaraj, learned counsel appearing for the respondents 1 to 4 would contend that the issue at hand stands squarely covered by the decision of the Hon'ble Andhra Pradesh High Court in a case of K.Bhaskaran and another v. Mohammed Moulana (died) and others reported in AIR 2005 AP 524. It is his submission that the assignment of a decree is compulsorily registrable since it only confers a right to obtain an immovable property and without registration of an assignment deed, even assuming a sale deed is registered, the effect of non-registration would prove fatal to any subsequent actions. To emphasise on this point, he has invited the attention of this Court to Section 49 of the Registration Act which very clearly stipulates as to what could be effect of non-registration of documents which are compulsorily registrable. It is also his further submission that the subsequent registration of the Sale deed would be vitiated since the assignment deed has not been registered and submit that the judgment of the lower Court is absolutely correct and warrants no interference.
