Heard both sides.

2. The impugned order has been passed on the strength of the circular bearing No.41530/U1/2017 dated 08.11.2017 issued by the IG of Registration, Chennai. The said circular cannot have any retrospective effect. The document was executed only in the year 2014. Therefore, the order impugned in this writ petition is set aside.

3. I make it clear that merely because the impugned order has been set aside that would not mean that I have negatived the case of the third respondent. The contentions of the third respondent are left open. This writ petition stands allowed on these terms. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
