LAW FOR ALL

the mere classification of land as Assessed Waste and the entry in the revenue record that it belongs to the Government do not determine the title and that the Registrar cannot ignore ownership of the party by giving weight to mere entries in the revenue record. In the instant case, the petitioner has traced the legal title through the document as far back as 21.5.1918 and enumerated the details relating to as many as 12 transitions through registered sale deeds commencing from 21.05.1918 up to 12.03.1995. In the face of this overwhelming documentary evidence showing that the property is a private property which changed hands through registered sale deeds on as many as 12 occasions, there is no justification for respondent No.3 to place reliance on the entry in the revenue record describing the property as Assessed Waste and refusing to receive and register the document on that basis.
