Yes. An unregistered document can be used as a collateral evidence. Law is settled in this regard.
Non registration of a registrable document effects status of the document. Status of primary evidence becomes secondary.

The question is not clear. (Sale agreement of what?.....immovable or movable property)
Considering that you may be asking for immovable property. A sale agreement is mere agreement to do or abstain from doing something for the consideration in future. It does not create immidiate rights.
Sale agreement is not required to be regsitered but its terms must be witnesseth by 2 witness.
The terms of unregistered sale agreement can be read as evidence provided its execution is duly proved in court of law.Once executuion is proved, court can enforce execution of its term by defaulting party. Therefore, relief can be granted and are being granted by Courts.
