2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Government Pleader for the official respondent. By consent of both sides, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that when the petitioner presented a document for registration, due to an objection made by the unknown person, the respondent has refused to register the document. Hence, prays for appropriate direction.

4. The learned Additional Government Pleader, on the other hand and on instructions from the respondent, would submit that the petitioner is yet to submit the sale deed for registration.

5. I have considered the rival submissions and perused the materials available on record.

6. Considering the submissions made on either side, the present petition has been filed for a direction to register the sale deed. However, 2/4

it is seen that the petitioner has not presented the document subsequent to the issuance of token. When such being the case, the right course available to the petitioner is only to present the sale deed dated 17.12.2025. On such presentation being made, the respondent is directed to register the same, after issuing notice to the parties concerned and in the event, if there are no objections.

7. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
