ORDER :
S.A.No.844 of 2012 has been filed by the appellants / defendants 2 & 3 against the decree and judgment dated 23.10.2008 passed in A.S.No.227 of 2007 on the file of the Principal Subordinate Court, Salem, against the decree and judgment dated 15.06.2007 in O.S.No.887 of 2003 on the file of the 2nd Additional District Munsif Court, Salem.
2. The suit in O.S.No.887/2003 has been filed for the relief of declaration and permanent injunction.
The execution of a sale deed is binding if the parties are present and the statutory procedures for disabilities are adhered to, dismissing claims of forgery when sufficient evidence exists.
An unregistered sale deed is invalid for specific performance claims, and the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff to establish the validity of the transaction.
The court affirmed that a sale deed executed with authority is valid unless fraud or coercion is proven, and claims must be filed within a statute of limitations.
The inclusion of fictitious property in a sale deed does not invalidate it unless fraud is proven; registered documents are presumed valid.
A sale deed including fictitious properties is void under Section 28 of the Registration Act, but the burden of proof lies with the party alleging fraud.
The main legal point established in the judgment is the presumption of genuineness attached to a registered document and the burden of proof in challenging its validity.
The distinction between signing and executing a document is crucial; mere signature admission does not equate to execution, impacting the validity of registration.
