HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJEEV NARULA

O R D E R

% 27.04.2026 1.

The Petitioner, M/s Manifold Grow High Brokers LLP, claims to have purchased land measuring 06 Bigha 17 Biswa, comprised in Khasra Nos. 22//7 min (2-17) and 8 (4-00), situated in the revenue estate of Village Kanjhawala, Delhi, from the recorded owner M/s Shiva Devsoft Pvt. Ltd., by way of a Sale Deed dated 06th April, 2026. 2.

The said Sale Deed was presented for registration before the office of the Sub-Registrar, Kanjhawala VI D (Respondent No. 2), and a receipt/slip bearing No. 2026/14/2073 dated 06th April, 2026 was issued acknowledging presentation. However, it is stated the document remains pending for registration on account of insistence upon production of a No Objection Certificate ["NOC"]/Land Status Report ["LSR"] from the Consolidation The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

Authorities, and no formal order of refusal has been passed. 3.

Counsel for the Respondents submits that the land falls in a village where consolidation proceedings are stated to be pending and contends that an NOC/LSR from the Consolidation Authorities is required prior to registration of the sale deed.

4.

Insofar as the insistence on an NOC/LSR founded on the pendency of consolidation proceedings is concerned, this Court in Okaya Infocom Pvt. Ltd. & Anr. v. Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Anr.1, held that having regard to the prolonged nature of consolidation proceedings, registration of such documents cannot be indefinitely withheld solely on the ground of nonavailability of a sanction/NOC. The Sub-Registrar was directed to proceed in accordance with law, without insisting upon any sanction, approval, or NOC linked exclusively to consolidation proceedings. 5.

The aforesaid legal position was reiterated by this Court in Jeevantika Organic Farming LLP v. Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Ors.2, wherein, while taking note of the stand of the Government, this Court balanced equities by requiring the intending purchaser(s) therein to furnish an undertaking. The underlying principle, namely that registration cannot be stalled indefinitely on account of pending consolidation proceedings, is equally applicable to the present case.

6.

In view of the aforesaid legal position, and having regard to the facts of the present case, this Court is of the opinion that the writ petition can be disposed of by issuing directions in similar terms. 7.

Accordingly, it is directed as under:

1 In W.P.(C) 12122/2021, decided on 10th November, 2023. 2 In W.P. (C) 12083/2025 & other connected matters decided on 12th August, 2025. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

(i) The affidavit/undertaking already placed on record on behalf of the Petitioners is taken on record and accepted. The Petitioner shall remain bound by the same.

(ii) Any breach of the aforesaid undertaking shall entail consequences in accordance with law. The undertaking shall also form part of the Sale Deed so as to put any subsequent transferee to notice. (iii) Subject to verification of the land acquisition status by the competent authority, and in line with the decisions in Okaya Infocom Pvt. Ltd. and Jeevantika Organic Farming LLP, it is directed that the registration of the Sale Deed shall not be refused solely on the ground of pendency of consolidation proceedings or non-availability of any NOC/LSR in that regard, and shall be processed further in accordance with law. (iv) It is clarified that the registration shall be without prejudice to the pending consolidation proceedings and shall remain subject to the rights, claims, and contentions of third parties, if any. 8.

With the following directions, the petition is disposed of along with pending application(s), if any.
