This miscellaneous petition coming on for admission this day, the court passed the following:

ORDER

This Miscellaneous Petition is filed by the plaintiffs

being aggrieved of order dated 01.11.2022 passed in

RCSA No.32A/2015 by learned Second Civil Judge,

SeniorDivision, Dindori whereby objection raised by the

plaintiffs as to the admissibility of the Batwaranama on the

ground that it is not registered and, therefore, in terms of

the Section 17 of the Registration Act is not admissible in

evidence has been rejected. Placing reliance on the

judgment of Supreme Court in K.K. Puri (deceased)

represented by Lrs. Vs. Smt. Krishna Puri and Others,

without mentioning the complete citation, learned Trial

Judge has rejected the application.

2. It has held that where any right is relinquished and

no new right is created or extinguished then non-

registration of document would be of no consequence.

3. Law laid down by the Punjab and Haryana High

Court in K.K. Puri (deceased) represented by Lrs. Vs.

Smt. Krishna Puri and Others, AIR 2008 P&H 23 is to

the effect that a relinquished document only conveying

intention of the members of family to relinquish their

rights in favour of their mother, it is not a document which

by itself extinguishes or creates any rights and, therefore,

non-registration of the document would be of no

consequence. It has placed reliance on the judgment of

Supreme Court in Kale Vs. Deputy Director of

Consolidation, AIR 976 SC 807 wherein it is held that it

is well settled that registration would be necessary only if

the terms of the family arrangement are reduced into

writing. Here also, a distinction should be made between a

document containing the terms and recitals of a family

arrangement made under the document and a mere

memorandum prepared after the family arrangement had

already been made either for the purpose of the record or

for information of the court, for making necessary

mutation. In such a case the memorandum itself does not

create or extinguish any rights in immovable properties

and therefore does not fall within the mischief of section

17(2) (sic) (section 17(1)(b)?) of the Registration Act and

is, therefore, not compulsorily registrable.

4. Thus, in the present case what is to be examined is

that whether the document contained in Annexure P-3 is

only for the purpose of mutation of Doalal or it creates or

extinguishes any right.

5. In the present case, apparently, said document being

only for the purpose of recording name of Doalal s/o

Anant Ram in the revenue records, and it does not create

or extinguish any rights in the immovable properties,

impugned order passed by the learned trial Court cannot

be faulted with in the supervisory jurisdiction of this

Court, petition fails and is hereby dismissed.
