Dear Sir,


Please advise on the following,


A, House owner morgaged their property to the bank for certaing sum and executed the morgaged deed. The Bank did not registered the morgaged deed and granted the loan. A again sold the same property by duplicate sale deed to B.Now bank has lodged their claim on the same property on the basis of morgaged deed.


Now my query is


1. Whether bank has the right on the property on the basis of unregistered morgage deed.


2. Whehter B can lay their valid claimon the property.


3. Please cite any decided case law on the same fact for our guidance.


Regards

bank has the first right over your mortgaged property and that unregistered deed will work as a proper and binding evidence.

Being unregistered deed bank claim is not valid and B acquire a good title over the property.

Mr. Dhaiya, please be considered about opinion. an unregistered sale deed des not mean that you have lost your ownership since some other deed has been registered farudulently. several other factors are also consisdred while establishing good title over a property and unregistered sale , lease deed are admissible in the court of law as an evidence.

this is a mortgage done by depositing title to the mortgagee and bank has evry first right to get its debt cleared.


it would be better for you to satisfy the bnk's claim from the proceeds of the sale if you do not want to get into legal hassles.

The mortgage you must be one of deposit of title deeds. The mortgage deed need not be registered for this sort of mortgage. However, some of teh states have made it mandatory to register the memorandum of deposit of title deeds in order to indicate that there is an encumbrace over the subject property.

the Bank has first charge over the property in question, for non payment of said sum Bank can proceed to recover the dues in respect of the property


for citations refer Banking law journals

Look Bank has claim on the property as the mortgage deed is executed
by A in favour of the Bank but the authenticity of the document and the
relevancy of the document can be disputed in the court of law because
unregistered document will have a less evidentiary value as per the
latest supreme court judgments.


However B who purchased the
property by way of scruitnizing the E.C. (encumbrance certificate) will
not be able to know about the existence of mortgage as it is an
unregistered document. Thus he is a bonafide purchaser and he has a
valid claim against the bank.


 


The possible solution is to repay the bank with less interest or to dispute the claim by way of mediation and negotiation.

it would be great help for me.


thanks
