Without proof of the execution and the genuineness of the transaction covered by it

Reliance can be placed upon judgments reported as Abdul Ghafoor and others Vs. Mukhtar Ahmad Khan and others (2006 SCMR 1144) and Abdul Majeed and 6 others Vs. Muhammad Subhan and 2 others (1999 SCMR 1245). In the latter case, the apex Court concluded in the following words:- 

It is axiomatic principle of law that a registered deed by itself, without proof of the execution and the genuineness of the transaction covered by it, would not confer any right. Similarly, a mutation although acted upon in Revenue Record, would not by its own force be sufficient to prove the genuineness of the transaction of which it purports unless the genuineness of the transaction is proved. There is no cavil with the proposition that these documents being part of public record are admissible in evidence but they by their own force would not prove the genuineness of document.
