A deed which is compulsorily registered under Sec 17 of registration Act, if not registered, it does not make the deed invalid. However, it cannot be used as a primary evidence. It could be used only as a corroborating evidence. In your case, I think that you can file an injunction suit.

non registration does not make a document useless in the eye of law

The execution is proved by registration. Unregistered has to prove the execution is denied. Penalty also has to pay according to state law & rules. It is not invalid. The tenent can proceed further with the agreement.
