J U D G M E N T

Ext.P6 sale deed has already been registered without collecting stamp duty on the basis of SRO.75/60. Transactions already concluded need not be re-opened as per the decision in Sub Registrar v. Kerala State Co-operative Consumers Federation Limited [2015 (1) KLT 443 (FB)]. Therefore Ext.P10 order demanding stamp duty and Ext.P11 notice requiring the petitioner to pay the amount demanded are hereby quashed.

The Writ Petition is allowed. No costs.

Sd/- V.CHITAMBARESH, Judge.
