TypeMiscellaneousPostureApplication for withdrawal of caveat and registration of chargeCoramJOYCE N. KHAMINWA
Holding

Application dismissed with costs

Facts

The plaintiff sought orders for withdrawal of a caveat entered on 30/1/2006 against Plot No.L.R.209/5098 IR 14496 and registration of a charge dated 30th December 2005 over that land in favour of the applicant.

Issues

  1. Priority of caveat registration over charge creation
  2. Validity of subsequent caveat registration

Reasoning

The subsequent caveat registration was illegal as it was prohibited by the earlier caveat. The priority demands that the document (caveat registered as IR No.14496/18) shall subsist and no orders can be granted under prayer (ii), and (iii).

Outcome

Dismissed with costs

Authorities cited
