Under the registration act, certain documents must be registered, such as instruments of gift, non-testamentary instruments, instruments relating to receipts, and lease deeds. If a document requiring compulsory registration is not registered, it has no evidentiary value in court and cannot be used to prove title to immovable property. While unregistered documents are generally inadmissible as evidence, they can be used for collateral purposes or to prove handwriting. For a document to be affected by non-registration, it must be one that is compulsory to register, and it must indeed have not been registered as required under the law.
