The dispute was about the validity of Section 34-C of the Registration Act, 1908, which was introduced through the Registration (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 2026. The petitioners challenged this section, arguing that it is arbitrary and violative of Articles 14, 21, and 300-A of the Constitution of India. The respondents argued that the legislation is constitutional and does not deprive anyone of their property. The court had to decide on the validity of the amendment. The amendment was introduced to prevent fraudulent property registrations.
