James v. The Director

O R D E R Heard both sides.

¶2The petition-mentioned land was purchased by the petitioner himself. However, the house was constructed under a subsidy scheme. In order to facilitate the same, an encumbrance was created in the Encumbrance Register in favour of the Fisheries Department. Now all that the petitioner wants is deletion of the said Encumbrance.

¶3It is not in dispute that the house was constructed and handed over to the writ petitioner. At present the petitioner is its absolute owner. There is no need to keep the encumbrance alive. The third respondent is directed to issue NOC in favour of the petitioner so as to facilitate deletion of the said adverse entry in the Encumbrance Register. This shall be done by the third respondent as expeditiously as possible. Thereafter, the petitioner is entitled to approach the 3 W.P.(MD)NO.26475 OF 2023 jurisdictional Sub Registrar of the Registration Department with the said NOC. The jurisdictional Sub Registrar will cause appropriate entry to be made in the Encumbrance Register so as to assure the petitioner's title. This writ petition stands allowed on these terms. No costs.
