Bachan Singh vs Kartar Singh And Ors. on 31 July, 2001

In Bachan Singh' case(Supra), Hon'ble Supreme Court held that a consent decree passed by the Court declaring a party owner of the land does not require compulsory registration. However, the facts of this case are distinguishable from the facts of the present case. In Bachan Singh's Case the defendant had admitted the claim of the plaintiff in an earlier suit and the said suit was decreed by the Ld. Trial Court on the basis of the said admission and no appeal was preferred by any of parties against the judgment of the Ld. Trial Court. In the second suit, the defendants tried to challenge the judgment in the first suit on the ground that it was obtained by fraud but the Hon'ble Court dismissed the said appeal on the ground that earlier suit was based on consent decree on the basis of admission in the written statement which did not require any registration.
