2019 5 Supreme 726 : An unregistered settlement deed (family arrangement) can be used as corroborative evidence even if it is not registered. As held by the Supreme Court in Subraya M.N. v. Vittala M.N. and Others (2016) 8 SCC 705, while registration is essential for a written family settlement to be admissible in evidence, an unregistered document can still be used as corroborative evidence to explain the nature of the settlement, the conduct of the parties, and to support the existence of the arrangement. This principle was further reinforced in Roshan Singh and Others v. Zile Singh and Others (2018) 14 SCC 814, which held that even unregistered documents of family arrangement can be used for collateral purposes, especially when the parties have acted upon them. Therefore, an unregistered settlement deed is not automatically inadmissible and can be marked and considered in evidence for corroborative purposes.Checking relevance for Thulasidhara VS Narayanappa...
2019 0 Supreme(SC) 2071 : An unregistered settlement deed can be admitted in evidence for collateral purposes, even if it is not registered. According to the judgment, even if a family settlement document requires registration but is unregistered, it can still be used as corroborative evidence to explain the nature of the settlement, the conduct of the parties, and to support the existence of a family arrangement. This is supported by the Supreme Court''''s decision in Subraya M.N. vs. Vittala M.N. and Ors. (2016) 8 SCC 705, which holds that an unregistered written family arrangement can be used as corroborative evidence, particularly to explain the conduct of the parties in receiving money in lieu of relinquishing their interest in family properties. Additionally, the court in Roshan Singh and Ors. vs. Zile Singh and Ors. (2018) 14 SCC 814 supports that such documents, even if unregistered, may be admissible as corroborative evidence when they are acted upon by the parties.Checking relevance for N. P. Saseendran VS N.

2009 8 Supreme 519 : A Deed of Family Settlement seeking to partition joint family properties cannot be relied upon unless signed by all the co-sharers. In the instant case, Respondent No. 8, who was a daughter of the original owner, was not a signatory to the Deed of Settlement, and therefore, all co-sharers had not consented to it, making it unenforceable.Checking relevance for Deenadayalan VS N.

2021 0 Supreme(Mad) 973 : The court held that Ex.B2 and Ex.B11, which were photocopies of bank records relating to the deposit of title deed, could not be marked or relied upon because they were not marked by the Bank officials. The court emphasized that only Bank officials are competent to mark and speak about such documents, and since the auction purchaser (not a Bank official) marked them, their authenticity and reliability were in doubt. This directly supports the principle that an unregistered settlement deed (or any document) cannot be effectively marked or admitted into evidence by a non-competent party, such as an auction purchaser, especially when the original document is not produced and the marking is not done by the proper authority.Checking relevance for Deenadayalan VS N.
