This writ petition has been filed challenging the impugned refusal check slip dated 03.12.2025 issued by the second respondent refusing to register the sale deed dated 19.11.2025 presented by the petitioners for registration on the ground that the patta produced by the petitioners is a joint patta which includes the name of the respondents 3 and 4 as well, who have not given their consent for registration of the sale deed.

2. Mr.Jayachandran, learned Government Advocate, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 and 2. Since no adverse orders are passed against the respondents 3 and 4, notice to them in this writ petition is dispensed with.

3. No prejudice will be caused to the second respondent if the said authority, before registering the sale deed dated 19.11.2025 presented by the petitioner for registration, issues notice to the respondents 3 and 4, whose names are also included in the joint patta, and after hearing their objections, if any, takes a final decision on whether to register the sale deed or not. In view of the same, the impugned refusal check slip will have to be quashed by this Court and the matter will have to be remanded back to the second respondent for fresh consideration, on merits and in accordance with law, after hearing the objections if any from the respondents 3 and 4.
