Sunanda W/o Pramodrao Balpande and others ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's Orders. or directions and Registrar's orders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shri K. R. Lule, counsel for the petitioner CORAM : R. M. SAVANT, J. DATED : 28/06/2011. The above petition takes exception to the order dated 16/03/2011, by which order the application of the petitioner for exhibiting the sale deed dated 12th September, 2007 came to be rejected. By the said sale deed, the property in question has been sold. The trial Court observed that the said document being insufficiently stamped impounded the same. The application of the petitioner-plaintiff for exhibiting the said document has been rejected inter alia on the ground that an unregistered document cannot be read in evidence, as also cannot be used for any collateral purpose under Sec.49 of the Registration Act. The document indicates that the value of the property covered by the said document was more than Rs.3,00,000/- (Rs.Three Lacs Only) whereas the document is executed on Rs.100/- (Rs. Hundred Only) stamp paper. The plaintiff also seems to be changing his stand and now wants to use the said document for collateral purposes. wp2285.11.odt 2/2 In my view, considering the reasons mentioned in impugned order of the trial Court, the same do not warrant any interference. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, it would be open for the petitioner- plaintiff to apply to the Court for getting the said document registered by paying the stamp duty on it by getting the same valued from the Sub-Registrar and after such payment, etc. may apply to the Court for exhibiting the said document.
