Registration Act | Unregistered Will Valid for Settlement Deed Registration : Madras HC Overrules Sub-Registrar's Refusal
Madras High Court rules that an unregistered will is sufficient to establish title for settlement deed registration, provided patta and heirship certificates are produced. The judgment clarifies that the Registration Act does not mandate will registration, protecting property owners from arbitrary refusals by sub-registrars.
