Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has ruled that a memorandum recording a family settlement, prepared after the family arrangement has already been agreed upon, does not require registration. Such a document merely records the terms of a pre-existing oral agreement and does not create or extinguish any rights in immovable property. Parties must have an existing claim or interest in the property for the family arrangement to be valid.

Court :
Supreme Court of India

Brief :
In the said judgment, SC reiterated the observations of its earlier judgement that a MOFS prepared after family arrangement was already made for the purpose of recording the information or for the information of the court, is not required to be registered.
