Amar Singh And Anr. vs Sarwan Singh And Ors. on 24 August, 2005
2. Mr. G.S. Bhatia, learned Counsel for the defendant-appellants in support of the appeal has submitted that although the Registration Act or Transfer of Property Act were not applicable but its general principles all the same continued to apply as these principles are based on sound public policy. Learned counsel has placed reliance on a DivK sion Benrh judgment of this Court in the case of Messrs. Ram Gopal Dula Singh v. Sar-dar Gurbux Singh Jiwan Singh and Ors. and has argued that in para 15 of the judgment, it has been categorically held with regard to the Transfer of Property Act, that the principles of the Transfer of Property Act would still be applicable to Punjab because they are based on justice, equity and good conscience, although the rules of procedure may not be applicable. According to the learned Counsel, if this is the situation with regard to Transfer of Property Act, it would equally be the position with regard to Registration Act.
