The petitioner had given a representation on 17.11.2025 to the fourth respondent seeking for issuance of 'No Objection Certificate' to enable the petitioner to get the sale deed registered with the fifth respondent. Since the said representation has not been considered, this writ petition has been filed.

For the foregoing reasons, this Court directs the fourth respondent to pass final orders on merits and in accordance with law on the petitioner's representation dated 17.11.2025 seeking for issuance of 'No Objection Certificate' to enable the petitioner to register the sale deed before the fifth respondent for the property more fully disclosed in the affidavit filed in support of this writ petition after giving due consideration to the supporting documents produced by the petitioner within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
