Pleadings in a suit are not a ‘document’ or ‘Instrument’; Cannot be registered by authorities or entered in the encumbrance certificate: Madras HC
“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.”
