Section 35 Registration Act, 1908 | Sub-Registrar Must Record DRT Sale Certificates in Book-I to Protect Auction Purchaser Rights : Telangana HC

Telangana High Court holds that Sub-Registrars are statutorily bound under Section 35 of the Registration Act, 1908, to record Debt Recovery Tribunal sale certificates in Book-I. Failure to do so violates auction purchasers' constitutional rights under Articles 14 and 21, as it deprives them of public notice and title protection. The ruling mandates compliance with registration formalities even for court-ordered auction sales to ensure transparency and legal certainty.
