“Pleadings by themselves do not meet the requirements under Section 17 or Section 18 of the Registration Act, 1908 for registration, nor do they satisfy the definition of an “instrument” under Section 2(14) of the Stamp Act, 1899.”

“Mere filing under Section 89(4) of the Registration Act itself is sufficient when a copy of the sale certificate is forwarded by the authorised officer to the registering authority. As long as the sale certificate remains as it is, it is not compulsorily registrable. It is only when the auction purchaser uses the certificate for some other purpose that the requirement of payment of stamp duty, etc. would arise.”
