Collector Cannot Condition Consent Decree Registration on Society No-Objection | Section 17 Registration Act : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that a collector may not demand a no-objection from a co-operative society as a pre-condition for registering a consent decree under the Registration Act. This clarifies that Section 37A of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code does not extend to such registrations. Property owners and societies gain certainty that registration cannot be blocked by administrative consent.
