ORDER

Tracing title from sale deed dated 11.10.1924 and partition deed dated 29.09.1970 bearing Document No.1305/1970, the petitioner presented the sale deed for registration. Such request for 1/4

registration was declined under impugned refusal check slip dated 29.12.2025.

Adverting to sale deed dated 11.10.1924 and partition deed dated 29.09.1970, learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the 'J' Schedule property under partition deed dated 29.09.1970 was allotted to the share of the petitioner. He submits that the vendor under sale deed dated 11.09.1924, unlawfully executed partition deed dated 07.05.1952.

3. Mr.Stalin Abimanyu, learned Additional Government Pleader, accepts notice for the sole respondent. He submits that notices would be issued to all parties interested, including parties to partition deeds dated 07.05.1952 and 29.09.1970 and that the sale deed presented by the petitioner would be registered or a speaking order of refusal would be issued.

4. On perusal of the impugned refusal check slip, it is noticeable that protest petition No.63 of 2024 dated 26.06.2024, partition deed bearing Document No.490/1952 and partition deed bearing Document No.1305/1970 are cited therein as reasons for refusal.
