can an unregistered agreement for sale be presented as an evidence in civil court in a money suit case ?
does court have the authority to impound the agreement for non payment of stamp duty even if it is presented as a collateral purpose ?

Yes, an unregistered sale agreement can be a documentary evidence in a money suit. to recover the advance amount upon cancellatioon of the sale agreement because the money received towards advance has been acknowledged in the unregistered sale agreement hence it can be considered as a receipt for the money received.
This is a documentary evidence and not an enforcebale instrument hence there is no necessity to pay the stamp dutuy for this piece of evidence.
You have posted the same query in many threads of this forum in the past but seems you are not satisfied with the replies received hence you are resorting to repeate the same question again and again.
