Disputes over Deeds: Who owns the plot?
property clat_ug beginner mcq_debateBro, I'm stuck on this MCQ from CLAT UG and my friend is like, "Kya pata, wrong answer hoga!" So, here's the scenario:
X and Y jointly purchase a plot of land from Z for ₹10 lakhs. The sale deed mentions the joint names of X and Y, but it doesn't specify the shares. The deed also contains a clause stating that it will be governed by the laws of the state where the plot is situated. If the plot is situated in a state where the joint ownership of property is governed by the "Right of Survivorship" rule, who will own the plot after Y's death?
My friend is saying X will own the plot because of the survivorship rule, but I'm like, "Nah, the deed doesn't specify the shares, so it's just joint tenancy with equal shares between X and Y.

Arre yeh toh bahut complicated hai! Deed of conveyance aur registry certificate dono hi ek jaise hain. Lekin agar ek side ne plot ka khayalat khada kiya toh, property registrayshun office se nivedan karna padega. Registration Act 1908 ke under, koi bhi disputed property ko court ki margdarshan mein forward karna hoga. Registration officer ke record kaafi strong evidence denge, isliye proof ki zaroorat padega.
Maine padha hai ki deed ek khaas aisa document hai jismein property ki ownership ka nirvaran hota hai. Lekin koi bhi deed perfect nahin hai, aur isliye dispute ho sakte hain. Mera vichar hai ki deed mein saabit karte waqt, un sab documenton ka dhyan rakha jaana chahiye jo property ki ownership ko pramaanit karte hain.
