The Delhi High Court has established that a husband cannot claim sole ownership of jointly registered property merely by paying the EMIs. The ruling, delivered by Justices Anil Kshetarpal and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, affirms that joint registration supersedes payment considerations and upholds Section 4 of the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act in a case involving a couple whose divorce proceedings remain pending since 2006.
