Subramania Udayar v. The Inspector General of Registration

ORDER Heard the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent 1 to 3 and the learned Government Advocate appearing for the fourth respondent. Considering the nature of relief to be granted, issuance of notice to the other respondents are dispensed with.

¶2The petitioner assails the validity of the document bearing No. 1285 of 2022 dated 18.02.2022 registered on the file of the third respondent. Of course, Section 77-A of the Registration Act cannot be invoked for the present. This is in view of the recent circular issued by the Inspector General of Registration as well as the pendency of the issue before the Hon'ble Division Bench.

¶3The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner states that he will be satisfied if enquiry is conducted in terms of the following circulars issued by the Inspector General of Registration: "1. gjpTj;Jiwj; jiyth;> nrd;id mth;fspd; Rw;wwpf;if vz;.41530/U1/2017> ehs; 08.11.2017.

The second respondent is directed to hold an enquiry in terms of the aforesaid circulars and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter. It is for the second respondent to put on notice for all the interested parties including the private respondents herein before passing orders.

¶4This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs.
