Mulla The Registration Act

The Indian Registration Act has long been accepted by lawyers as a leading textbook on the subject for its comprehensive and accurate coverage of procedures relating to registration. The present edition is a compendium of all the latest case law and their various ramifi cations in the Indian context. In a procedural law like Registration where case laws are heavily relied upon for arguments, it is important for a practitioner to have access to the latest pronouncements from the court. The Indian Registration Act, in its revised version, would, therefore, be an indispensable tool for all practising lawyers. With the increase in land and housing disputes and unauthorised occupation of immovable property, the doctrine of notice is constantly being tested. The book includes this core aspect of the law of registration. In addition, the new edition extensively covers the object and scope of the law of registration, competition between registered and unregistered document, compulsory and optional registration of documents relating to immovable properties, effect of registration and non-registration of documents relating to immovable property, priority between registered and unregistered documents and the effect of possession of immovable property and proliferating case law in India. Ever since it made its appearance in 1923, this legal classic has remained the standard and authoritative work on the subject. It is hoped that the present edition, with its coverage of the latest developments in this fi eld, would remain the standard reference tool of the legal community.
