Ramachandran V v. The Sub Registrar

ORDER

Heard both sides.

¶2The petitioner presented the petition mentioned document for registration before the respondent. Since the parent deed in original was not produced, registration was refused. Challenging the same, the present writ petition came to be filed.

¶3Rule 55-A(1) was introduced in the statute book on 05.09.2022. The Madras High Court had struck down the first proviso alone. The other parts of the Rule still remain intact.

¶4It is seen that the petitioner has already lodged complaint before the Inspector of Police, Puthanatham Police Station on 22.06.2023. The Inspector of Police, Puthanatham Police Station is directed to hold an enquiry and issue Non Traceable Certificate within four weeks if enquiry discloses that the document cannot be traced. The petitioner is at liberty to re-present the document along with the said Non Traceable Certificate. The other requirements set out in the Rule shall also be complied with. Subject to the petitioner's fulfilment of the said requirements, the document in question on being re-submitted shall be registered and released.

¶5This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
