ORDER

The issue raised in this writ petition is squarely covered by the Judgment of this Court in P.Pappu Vs. Sub Registrar, Rasipuram [2024 (5) CTC 575]. A Division Bench of this Court held that it is not necessary for the party to enclose the original document for the purpose of registration. The view taken by the Division Bench in Pappu's case found acceptance by the Supreme Court by the dismissal of the special leave petition preferred by the State against the order of the Division Bench. Consequently, I am not in a position to sustain the impugned order. Hence, the impugned refusal check slip in refusal Number RFL/3 Joint Sub Registrar Trichy/12/2025 dated 30.01.2025 is quashed. The writ petition is allowed. There shall be a direction to the respondent/Sub Registrar to register the power deed submitted by the petitioner within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.

2. Call the matter after three weeks for reporting compliance. 18.03.2025 NCC : Yes/No Index : Yes/No Internet:Yes skn 2/4
