The present Writ Petition has been filed for the issuance of a Writ of MANDAMUS directing the 2nd respondent to accept the petitioner's document and registered the same by considering petitioner's representation dated 30.06.2025.

2. On instructions, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents submitted that the petitioner has not submitted any document before the authorities to register the same.

3. However, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner already had submitted the document before the 2nd respondent, but the respondent refused registration. In the reply, the respondent stated some entries have already been made in respect of the said property, therefore, the petitioner's document if registered would amount to double entry. This Court has already considered the issue of double entry/multiple entries and held, even if it is a double entry or contra entry, the respondents cannot refuse registration.
