ORDER

This writ petition has been filed challenging the refusal check slip issued by the second respondent dated 11.06.2019 thereby refusing to register the sale deed dated 03.06.2019 on the ground that plot No.33 wrongly mentioned in the sale deed.

2.

Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused all the materials placed before this court.

3.

The property of vacant plot to an extent of 2400 sq.ft. bearing plot No.33 comprised in old survey No.299/1 (old TS.No.51, Ward D, Block No.27) new TS.No.127/2 situated at Achammanaidu Kandigai, Arakkonam was originally purchased by one, Chandrasekaran. However, due to 2/6

inadvertence, plot number was mentioned as 34 instead of 33. Therefore the petitioner's vendor's vendor i.e. the said Chandrasekaran presented the document for rectification to rectify as plot No.33 instead of 34 and got registered vide document No.799 of 2018. Thereafter, the petitioner's vendor by name Dillibabu had executed sale deed in respect of half portion of the said plot in favour of the petitioner, in which the plot number was stated as

33. Without noticing the said rectification deed executed by the petitioner's vendor's vendor, the second respondent mechanically refused to register the sale deed on the ground that the plot number is wrongly mentioned as 33 instead of 34. It is also revealed from the sale deed executed in favour of the petitioner dated 03.06.2019. Therefore the impugned refusal check slip issued by the second respondent cannot be sustained and the same is liable to be set aside. Accordingly, the impugned refusal check slip dated 11.06.2019 is set aside. Therefore, the petitioner is directed to present the sale deed dated 03.06.2019 for registration before the second respondent and on receipt of the same, the second respondent is directed to register and release the same if it is otherwise in order.

3/6

4.

With the above directions, this writ petition stands allowed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
