While so, petitioner decided to sell the property and presented the sale deed for registration before the 2nd respondent, however, it is stated that the same was refused registration on the ground of non-production of parent deed. Therefore, petitioner has filed the present writ petition seeking registration of sale deed without insisting the original parent documents.

presented, the same would be registered if it is otherwise in order. If for any reason, the same is sought to be rejected, the appropriate authority would issue refusal check slip/order assigning reasons for such refusal. Agreed to by the learned counsel for petitioner.

5. In view thereof, the writ petition stands disposed of. It is open to the petitioner to present the sale deed for registration, the concerned respondent shall consider and register the document if it is otherwise in order, if for any reason the registering authority finds that the registration ought to be refused, the same shall be done after assigning reasons. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any views on merits and it is open to the concerned respondent to consider the sale deed as and when presented for registration on its own merits and in accordance with law.
