No. 33/7, which request is allegedly not acceded to, for the reason that the property covered by the document is stated as 'frozen' in connection with the proposed acquisition for coastal highway. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is absolutely no rhyme or reason on the part of the respondents in refusing to register the property. It is also stated that no proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act have been taken so far. Reliance is also placed on Ext.P4 judgment passed by this Court under similar circumstances. 3. Heard the learned Govt. Pleader as well. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances, the 4th respondent is directed to register the document, as and when the same is presented, if no notification under Section 4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act is W.P. (C) No. 13656 of 2011 : 2 : issued till date, subject to satisfaction of the statutory requirements, if no other impediment is there, but for the alleged freezing of the land as mentioned herein before. Writ Petition is allowed. No cost. P. R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE kmd
