HIGH COURT OF RAJASTHAN
SANDEEP MEHTA
LRS OF DEVA RAM – Appellant
Versus
STATE OF RAJASTHAN – Respondent
SAW/945/2022
PARTITION - SALE DEED - REGISTRATION - CONSTRUCTION - [KEYWORD] - [SUBJECT] - SUMMARY
Fact of the Case:
Deva Ram filed a suit for partition of land, claiming a 1/4th share and joint possession with Loon Singh, Pratap Ram, and Triloka Ram. During the pendency of the suit, Triloka Ram entered into an 'agreement to sell' 9 bighas of land to Shiv Prakash Soni. After Triloka Ram's death, his legal representatives compromised with Soni, agreeing to sell 5 bighas and 10 biswa of land. The suit for specific performance of the contract was decreed in Soni's favor. However, the sale deed was not registered due to an interim order in the partition suit. Soni filed an application in the partition suit, seeking registration of the sale deed and permission to raise construction.
Finding of the Court:
The court held that the registration of the sale deed in favor of Soni could not be denied as the 'agreement to sell' was entered into before the partition suit and interim order. However, permission to raise construction was set aside as it could not be granted until the shares of all coparceners were identified through partition.
Issues: 1. Whether the registration of the sale deed in favor of Soni could be denied due to the pending partition suit and interim order?2. Whether Soni could be granted permission to raise construction before the identification of shares through partition?
Ratio Decidendi: 1. A purchaser of a coparcener's undivided interest has the right to sue for partition and allotment of the coparcener's share.2. Registration of a sale deed for a specified area of land does not require the identification of a particular portion.3. Permission to raise construction cannot be granted until the shares of all coparceners are identified through partition.
Final Decision: The court partly allowed the appeal, upholding the order directing the registration of the sale deed in favor of Soni but setting aside the permission to raise construction.
