Judgment
O R D E R Heard both sides.
2.
The
petitioner
wanted
to
sell
the petition-mentioned property. The sale deed was presented for 2 W.P.(MD)NO.24458 OF 2023 registration on the ground that the encumbrance certificate reflects mortgage. The registration was refused. Challenging the same, the present writ petition came to be filed.
¶3The issue raised in the writ petition is no longer res integra. The Hon'ble Division Bench in the decision reported in 2020 6 CTC 697 (Ramayee V. Sub-Registrar) had held that the fact that the executant of the document had also entered into a sale agreement or mortgage deed will not operate as bar for entering into subsequent transactions.
¶4Respectfully following the aforesaid decision, the impugned refusal check slip is quashed. The petitioner is permitted to re-present the document in question before the registering authority. The registering authority shall receive it, register and release the same subject to fulfilment of the other usual formalities. This writ petition stands allowed. No costs.
