Headnote
Registration Act, I 908 S.47-Sale deeds-Commencement of operation-Two sale deeds (Ext. P-2 and Ext. D-1) executed the same day-Time of execution of P-2 shown as 10.00 A.M-Time of execution of D-1 not shown-Concurrent findings of courts below that Ext. P-2 executed earlier than Ext. D-2 and former will take effect from the time when it was executed and not from the time of its registration-Where two documents are executed on the same day, time of their execution would determine the priority irrespective of the time of their registration-The one which is executed earlier would prevail
