Court : Karnataka Dharwad

..... article 5(i) of the karnataka stamp act, 1957 (hereinafter referred to as 'the act'), specifies that if possession of the property is delivered or agreed to be delivered before executing a conveyance, such a document is liable for stamp duty as a conveyance. ..... the learned judge, upon reviewing the objections, impounded the document and directed the petitioners to pay the deficit stamp duty along with penalty, arguing that the document did not meet the necessary stamping requirements.4. ..... therefore, the imposition of stamp duty under article 5(e)(i) of the act, on the agreement of sale in this context is not applicable, as the sale deed is the primary legal instrument reflecting the property transaction.7. ..... the learned judge, while addressing objections raised by the defendants regarding the admissibility of the agreement of sale dated 11.12.2002, which was accompanied by possession, directed the petitioners to pay the deficit stamp duty along with penalty. ..... since the sale deed has been properly executed and bears the appropriate stamp duty, it becomes the operative document governing the transfer of title. ..... the records in the present case reveal that the entire stamp duty is paid on the sale deed and sale deed is registered. ..... consequently, article 5(e)(i) does not apply to the agreement of sale once a sale deed has been executed, as the agreement of sale merges into the sale deed and ceases to function as an independent document for the purposes of stamp duty. .....
