M/S. Macalloy India v. The Inspector General of Registration

O R D E R This Writ Petition is filed challenging the impugned refusal check slip issued by the 5th respondent dated 26.12.2025.

¶2By consent, this Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.

¶3It is the case of the petitioner that when the petitioner presented a sale certificate for registration, the same was refused to be registered on the ground that no stamp duty and registration fee have been paid in respect of the said document. Challenging the same, the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition.

¶4The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to pay the necessary stamp duty as applicable as of today. Hence, he prays for appropriate orders.

¶5The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that since necessary stamp duty and registration fees have not been paid, the respondents are not in a position to register the sale certificate.

¶6Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that since the petitioner undertakes to pay the necessary stamp duty and registration fees as applicable as of today, there is no impediment for the respondents to register the sale certificate produced by the petitioner. Therefore, the impugned order is liable to be set aside.

¶7Accordingly, the impugned refusal check slip issued by the 5th respondent dated 26.12.2025 is set aside. The petitioner is directed to represent the sale certificate before the 5th respondent along with necessary stamp duty and registration fees and thereafter, 5th respondent is directed to register the same in accordance with law, if it is otherwise in order.

¶8With the above observations, this Writ Petition is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
