📚 Legal Learning – Unregistered Agreement to Sell Does Not Create Ownership Rights
🧾 Key Legal Insights:
🔹 Agreement to Sell ≠ Ownership
An unregistered agreement to sell cannot be treated as a conveyance and does not transfer any title or interest in immovable property. Title can only be conveyed through a registered sale deed.
🔹 No Suit for Specific Performance = No Claim of Ownership
Without filing a suit for specific performance, the buyer cannot claim ownership or transferable rights based on an agreement to sell.
🔹 Power of Attorney + Agreement to Sell ≠ Valid Title
Even if a Power of Attorney exists, it cannot override the legal requirement of a registered conveyance deed for transferring immovable property. The revocation of PoA further weakens any claim made based on it.
🔹 Refer:
Section 54, Transfer of Property Act, 1882
Section 17, Registration Act, 1908
Relevant judicial precedents, including Suraj Lamp v. State of Haryana and latest 2025 rulings, reaffirm this settled law.
🧠 Legal Insight:
Courts consistently hold that an agreement to sell is not a document of title. In the absence of specific performance and registered sale deed, no legal transfer or mutation of ownership is valid.
