However, the same is refused to be registered on the ground that after the purchase of the said Isthiyak Ahamed, there is a partition deed which is registered in respect of the very same property vide document No.4549 of 2009 and therefore, considering the same as double entry, the present document is refused to be registered. 3.

Even going by the said principle, once the property vested in Isthiyak Ahamed, thereafter once again registering the partition deed, which is the later document can only be considered as a double entry. In any event, it is for the aggrieved person to approach the appropriate civil Court and establish the title.
