"Hemalatha vs Tukaram 2026 | Registered Sale Deed Cannot Be Sham | Supreme Court Verdict"

Описание: Hemalatha vs Tukaram (2026) is a landmark Supreme Court judgment on property law that decisively clarifies the legal position on registered sale deeds and sham transactions.

In this case, the Supreme Court held that a Registered Sale Deed cannot be declared a “sham” merely on the basis of oral allegations, vague pleadings, or subsequent denial of intention. The Court emphasized that registration is a solemn act, and a registered instrument carries a strong presumption of validity and genuineness.

The judgment sets aside the High Court’s ruling and restores the principle that written, registered documents cannot be overridden by oral evidence, unless fraud, coercion, or statutory violation is specifically pleaded and strictly proved.
