O. 12, R. 3 – Document compulsory registrable, not registered and also not stamped
Trail court rightly held it to be inadmissible in evidence. We are, thus, in full agreement with the view taken by the trial court as well as the High Court that the document dated 09.09.1994 was compulsorily registrable. The document also being not stamped could not have been accepted in evidence and order of trial court allowing the application under Order XII Rule 3 CPC and the reasons given by the trial court in allowing the application of the defendant holding the document as inadmissible cannot be faulted.
