Gopi v. Sub-Registrar (2025 SCC OnLine SC 740) - The Supreme Court clarified that registering officers cannot refuse registration based solely on the absence of original documents or the title held by the executant.

The Court also found Rule 55A of the Registration Rules to be ultra vires the Registration Act, 1908, rendering any related refusal orders illegal.
