There shall be a direction to the third respondent to register the sale deed executed in favour of the petitioner dated 25.07.2024, within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of uploading of this order in the website of this Court.

2. The fact that the sale deed has been registered does not mean that the petitioner automatically gets title. Mere registration of a document does not confer title on the person. If any person has a claim over the property, the registration of this document will not affect the right of the said person. It is always open to the parties to approach the jurisdictional Civil Court, in case they are aggrieved.

3. This Writ Petition is ordered in the above terms. There shall be no order as to costs.
