Unregistered supplementary sharing agreement is in admissible in evidence

2) it is required to be duly stamped and registered

3) If specific division of 'built-up' property (i.e., specific flat numbers) is mentioned in the agreement and it's brought up for registration, it will be deemed as sale conveyance and will attract normal stamp duty.

1. No unregistered transfer deed is admissible in court unless its impounded by court and penal stamp duty is paid.

2. So the enforceability of the terms mentioned therein will depend on formal proof of the deed ib court.

3. This is the well settled position in law and no supreme court decision has caused any change in this.

Yes, the unregistered supplementary agreement/document is an admissible evidence.

Registration of the supplementary agreement pertaining to flat sharing ought to have been registered.

The unregistered supplementary agreement is not admissible as primary evidence in court, however it can be used to corroborate secondary evidence.

It depends on how the parties convince court by their presentation.
