non registration is no bar for being admitted in evidence in case of some of documents
There can be no doubt that the strictest construction should be placed on the prohibitory and penal sections of the Registration Act which impose serious disqualifications for non-observance of registration. Section 17 of the Act, being a disabling section, must be construed strictly. There can also, therefore, be no doubt that unless a document is clearly brought within the purview of Section 17, its non-registration is no bar in its being admitted in evidence. The criterion for purposes of registration is what is expressed on the face of the document.
