Chapter III REGISTRATION OF AWARDS

In all registration offices a book called "Register of Debt Adjustment Awards" and an Index relating thereto shall be kept. The book and index shall be kept in such form and shall contain such particulars as the State Government may prescribe.

Where an award is required to be registered under section 26, it shall be the duty of the Court making the award to send to the Sub-Registrar of the sub-district in which the property which is the subject-matter of the award or any part of such property is situated, or if there is no Sub-Registrar for the area, to the Registrar of the district in which the property or its part is situate, a certified copy of the award after the court-fee has been paid thereon in accordance with the provisions of section 33 together with a memorandum containing such particulars as the State Government may prescribe.

If a party files an appeal against an award under section 31 and if such award has been registered under section 26, it shall be the duty of the Court in which the appeal is filed to send to the Sub-Registrar or the Registrar to whom a certified copy of the award has been sent under section 37, a notice regarding the institution of the appeal.

After the expiry of the period provided for an appeal against an award, if no appeal is filed, or if an appeal is filed after the disposal of the said appeal, the Sub-Registrar or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall register the award in the Register of Debt Adjustment Awards and shall also enter particulars in the Index kept under section 36.

Any person acquiring any property or any part of, or any share or interest in, the property of a debtor for the adjustment of whose debts an award has been made and registered shall be deemed to have notice of the award from the date of its registration under this Chapter.

Except as herein provided, the provisions of the Indian Registration Act, 1908 (XVI of 1908), shall mutatis mutandis apply to the registration of awards, and the words and expressions used in this Chapter but not defined in this Act shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indian Registration Act, 1908 (XVI of 1908).
