The present Writ Petition has been filed for the issuance of a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus, to quash the refusal check slip dated 30.07.2024 and consequently to direct the third respondent to register the document presented by the petitioner.

2. The third respondent refused to register the document on the ground that already there is a document registered in Document No.10099 of 1997. Therefore, the petitioner does not have any right to sell the property, as the property belongs to a third party through the said document. Further it was stated that if the petitioner's document is registered then it would amount to a double entry.

3. The issue of double entry has already been considered by this Court in the case of T.Senthilvel Vs. The District Registrar and others in W.P.(MD)No. 22114 of 2024 dated 17.10.2024, wherein, the Hon'ble Single Judge held that based on double entry the respondent cannot refuse registration.

4. Therefore, following the said judgment, the impugned refusal check slip is hereby quashed. The third respondent is directed to register the document, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5. With the above said direction, this Writ Petition is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs.
