In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court hold that registering officer under Section 35 of the Registration Act cannot enquire into title of the person seeking registration?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Satya Pal Anand v State of Madhya Pradesh (26 October 2016) explains that a registering officer does not adjudicate the executant’s title under the Registration Act’s ordinary inquiry. Matters such as execution, identity and statutory registration requirements remain examinable. Registration and adjudication of ownership are different functions; express applicable State-law changes must be considered separately.
