It is stated that, on execution of the documents, as required under the Transfer of Registry Rules, the documents were forwarded by the Sub Registrar to the 2nd respondent for effecting mutation in their favour. According to the petitioners, despite having received the documents as above, Tahsildar has not passed orders thereon. 2. Although the learned Government Pleader has raised disputes about the entitlement of the petitioners to have the properties mutated in their favour, having regard to the fact that the matter is pending before the Tahsildar, it is up to the Tahsildar to consider the matter in terms of the provisions contained under the Transfer of Registry Rules and pass orders thereon so that in case the orders passed are adverse to the petitioners, they can seek redressal of their grievances by moving the appropriate appellate authority. WPC Nos. 35704 & 35799/10 :2 : In that view of the matter, without expressing anything on the merits, these writ petitions are disposed of directing the 2nd respondent herein, the Tahsildar before whom the applications for mutation are pending, to consider the matter and pass orders thereon in accordance with law. This the 2nd respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
