Whether document which is registered subsequently will operate from date of execution?

 Section 47 of Registration Act, 1908 reads as under:
“47. Time from which registered document
operates. – A registered document shall operate
from the time which it would have commenced to
operate if no registration thereof had been
required or made, and not from the time of its
registration”
 In view of the above provision of law, we are in agreement
with the submission of learned counsel for the Respondent
no.1 that the document registered on a subsequent date,
operates from the date of execution, not from the date of
registration.
