JAI MAHAL HOTELS PVT. LTD. versus RAJ KUMAR DEVRAJ & ORS.

There is no real dispute between the parties about the entitlement of DR Group; succession certificate and transfer deeds executed by GD in favour of DR Group are valid and must be acted upon. The summary jurisdiction of CLB does not preclude rectification when complication is illusory and not genuinely disputed. High Court rightly reversed CLB's refusal to rectify the register; DR Group entitled to share transmission.
