Vendor Cannot Execute Second Sale Deed While First Sale Deed Executed Over Same Plot Is Pending Registration: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has ruled that a vendor cannot execute a second sale deed for the same plot of land while the first sale deed is still pending registration. This decision emphasizes that once a sale deed is executed, it must be registered to establish a legal transfer of property rights. The vendor's attempt to execute a second sale deed for the same property, while the first one remains unregistered, is considered invalid. This ruling upholds the importance of completing the registration process for the initial sale deed before any subsequent transactions involving the same property can be legally undertaken.
