Section 8
Restrictions on registration of transfers of land.
The Delhi Lands (Restrictions on Transfer) Act, 1972
About this Act
An Act to impose certain restrictions on transfer of lands which have been acquired by the Central Government or in respect of which acquisition proceedings have been initiated by that Government, with a view to preventing large-scale transactions of purported transfers or, as the case may be, transfers of such lands to unwary public.
Notwithstanding anything contained in any
other law for the time being in force, where any document required to be registered under the provisions
of clause (a) to clause (e) of sub-section (1) of section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 (16 of 1908),
purports to transfer by sale, mortgage, gift, lease or otherwise any land or part thereof referred to in
section 4, no registering officer appointed under that Act shall register any such document unless the
transferor produces before such registering officer a permission in writing of the competent authority for
such transfer.
