Sec 47. Time from which registered document operates.- A registered document shall operate from the time from which it would have commenced to operate if no registration thereof had been required or made, and not from the time of its registration.

Therefore, as per section 47 of the Registration Act if two registered documents executed by the same person in respect of the same property to two different persons at two different dates, the one which is executed first has priority over the other, although the former deed is registered subsequently to the later one.
