The second respondent impleaded by this Court, who had filed an objection before the authority not to register the petitioner's settlement deed . 2.The contention of the second respondent is that when the original owner of the property has sold the property to the second respondent, the original owner's legal heirs had also sold the property to the petitioner, which is subsequent. Therefore, he has filed an objection. 3.After elaborate arguments made on either side, this Court is of the considered opinion that the second respondent objection cannot be considered at this stage because already the sale deed is registered in the petitioner's name. 2/4

Therefore, the impugned order is liable to be quashed. 4.Accordingly, this writ petition stands allowed.
