Nemo Dat Quod Non Habet | Registration Alone Cannot Confer Title Without Prior Ownership : Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has reaffirmed that a registered sale deed cannot transfer title if the seller never lawfully owned the property, invalidating a 2018 deed in favor of a 1996 registered transaction. This ruling binds all property buyers to verify chain of title before registration, not just rely on documentary formalities.
