subject properties, have now been removed through the execution of the Rectification Deed dated 05.02.2026 bearing Document No.2359 of 2026 on the file of the Sub-Registrar, Periyanayakkanpalayam. In view of the execution of the said Rectification Deed, the learned counsel for the petitioner would now submit that there are no more restrictions for the respondents to register both the sale deeds, which are the subject matter of these writ petitions.

3. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that if the petitioner is able to establish before the Registration Department that the encumbrances found in the Encumbrance Certificate earlier for the subject properties have been removed, the respondents shall register the sale deeds presented by the petitioner for registration if it is otherwise in order, and release the same to the petitioner, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.

4.
