Chhattisgarh HC Dismisses Challenge to Unregistered Relinquishment Deed

The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed a challenge filed by a petitioner who claimed that an unregistered relinquishment deed could transfer ownership of a property. The court held that, under the Registration Act, a relinquishment deed must be registered to be effective in transferring title. It ruled that an unregistered deed is void as a means of title transfer and therefore cannot be used to alter property ownership. The decision underscores the importance of complying with registration formalities in property transactions and may influence how similar disputes are handled in the future.
