THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY C.R.P.No.386 of 2011 ORDER: The respondent filed a suit for partition and separate possession of the suit schedule properties against the petitioners in the Court of Senior Civil Judge, Allagadda. In the course of their evidence, the petitioners relied upon an unregistered relinquishment deeds dated 08-06-1995 and 10-10-1992. The respondent raised an objection as to the admissibility of the documents. Through docket order dated 30-11-2010, the trial Court sustained the objection. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the said order. Heard Sri K. Rathanga Pani Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners. It is not in dispute that the two documents relied upon by the petitioners are relinquishment deeds, and that they are not registered. Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the Act’) mandates that the documents through which an individual acquires property, or confers his rights, vis-à-vis the property, upon others; must be registered. Section 49 of the Act is to the effect that a document, which is otherwise required to be registered under law, shall not be received in evidence, unless it is registered. The deeds of relinquishment would involve in divesting of the rights in a person, and the resultant conferment of rights, vis-à-vis the property in others. In a way, it can be said that, relinquishment is one form of gift. Since the title in the property gets transferred, the document is required to be registered. The petitioners intend to rely upon those documents, to prove the factum of relinquishment. The admission of such documents is clearly prohibited under Section 49 of the Act. The trial Court has taken correct view of the matter, and no interference is warranted. The C.R.P. is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.
