S.Rajagopalan v. The District Registrar

O R D E R Heard both sides.

2.The petitioner wants to purchase the petition-mentioned lands from M/s.Jenisan Property Care Private Ltd. In the impugned refusal check slip, it has been mentioned that the said lands sought to be purchased by the petitioner are not PACL properties. Therefore, there cannot be any impediment for registering the same. The second respondent had developed cold feet because the parent documents contained survey numbers that are PACL related. In such cases, the authority has to apply the principle of segregation; grain has to be removed from the chaff. When even according to the second respondent, the lands are not PACL properties, there cannot be any legal impediment.

¶3The order impugned in this writ petition is set aside. The petitioner is permitted to re-present the document in question. The second respondent will receive the document in question, register it and release the same subject to fulfillment of the other usual formalities. This writ petition 3 W.P.(MD)NO.25207 OF 2023 stands allowed. No costs.
