Supreme Court: Property Registration Alone Not Enough for Ownership

Supreme Court: Property Registration Alone Not Enough for Ownership

The Supreme Court said that just registering a property isn't enough to prove you own it.

You also need to have the right documents and actually control the property.

This means buyers need to double-check everything.

A Sale Deed, Mother Deed, and Sale Agreement are important, as is the Completion Certificate showing the building meets all rules.

The ruling aims to prevent fraud and disputes in real estate, potentially making the market more transparent.

In the short term, it might make buying property more complex.
