Section 67 Indian Evidence Act | Registered Sale Deed Presumption of Genuineness Overrides Allegations of Fraud Without Cogent Proof : Madras HC

Madras High Court reaffirms that a registered sale deed under Section 67 of the Indian Evidence Act carries a statutory presumption of validity, requiring cogent evidence to displace it. Mere allegations of fraud, undue influence, or non-payment of consideration are insufficient unless substantiated with proof, reinforcing the sanctity of registered property transactions.
