Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD IQBAL VS NASRULLAH S. 54---agreement to sell---Scope---agreement to sell does not create any title or claim over the property; it also does not create ownership in the land and, as such, a person in whose favour such an agreement is made cannot claim a decree of title on the basis of incomplete sale consideration---Even if such an agreement contains an acceptance of receipt of an earnest or partial payment of the total sale consideration, it does not need to be registered because all it does in lieu of is grant the right to get another document i.e. sale deed---Unless the sale deed is registered and title is transferred, the possibility always exists that the agreement to sell might be terminated in the event of breach of any provision contained therein.
