No Transfer Of Title In Absence Of Registered Document' : Supreme Court Rejects Tenant's Claim For Ownership Based On Settlement With Landlord

The Supreme Court has ruled that a tenant cannot claim ownership of property based solely on an unregistered settlement agreement with the landlord. In this case, the tenant argued that a settlement document, which was not registered, should be considered a valid transfer of title. The Court rejected this claim, reinforcing the legal requirement that property transfers must be documented and registered to be legally binding. This decision underscores the importance of formal registration in property transactions to ensure legal clarity and protect the rights of all parties involved. It affirms that without proper registration, claims to property ownership are invalid.
