Summary
In India, if a property is sold and later mortgaged by the seller, the mortgage is invalid. Buyers with registered sale deeds have legal precedence over subsequent claims. The Transfer of Property Act, 1882, Section 48, supports this, stating prior interests prevail. The Supreme Court case N. Kamalam (Dead) and Anr. V. Ayyasamy and Anr. Confirmed this, ruling that sold properties cannot be mortgaged by sellers. Buyers should ensure their sale deed is registered and may need to challenge any invalid mortgages in court. Legal advice may be necessary to navigate these issues effectively.Full Conversation
