Summary:

EXECUTION OF SALE DEEDResidents of societies take up issue with AdviserRamkrishan UpadhyayTribune News ServiceChandigarh, October 6The condition of an NOC for the transfer of flats has put hundreds of flat owners in group housing societies in a fix. Sharma said the Sub-Registrar, UT, did not permit owners of flats of freehold societies to execute the sale deed/transfer deed/deed of family transfer without NOC/permission from the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, UT, which was violative of the transfer policy. The Punjab and Haryana High Court, in the case of Amritpal Singh vs Chandigarh Administration and others”, held that no NOC was required for effecting the sale of freehold properties. He said the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, UT, as well as the Sub-Registrar, UT, were wrongly forcing members of freehold societies to get permission from the office of the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, for executing the sale deed/transfer deed/deed of family transfer. He said even the no-dues certificate was to be issued by the respective societies, and not by the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, UT, as the latter had neither allotted land nor the flats..
