In several cases of this nature, this Court has taken the view that when a document is presented for registration, the course open to the authority is to take steps for its registration, and if necessary, take such action as is warranted in the Stamp Act and Registration Act. 2. The facts of this case being identical, the writ petition is disposed of directing that it will be open to the petitioner to present the original of Exts.P1 and P2 before the respondent, in which case, respondent shall take appropriate action for its registration and thereafter take such appropriate action as is warranted in law. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
