BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI D.ANIL KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 2094 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: January 30, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that he has entered into an agreement for sale in respect of the land in Ext.P1 and that in view of Ext.P6 order issued by the Secretary, Land Board, directing the registering officers within the KDH Village not to register any document whatsoever pertaining to the land vested in the Government in the KDH Village, the 1st respondent would not register the sale deed executed in pursuance to Ext.P1. According to the petitioner, the 4th respondent has issued Ext.P12 directing the District Collector to exempt the petitioner from the purview of Ext.P6. It is on this basis a direction is sought in this writ petition requiring the 1st respondent to register the sale deed concerning the property mentioned in Ex.P1 in his favour. 2. The learned Government Pleader on instructions from the 1st respondent submits that the petitioner has not presented any document for registration. According to the learned Government WP(C) 2094/08 Page numbers Pleader, in pursuance to Ext.P12 it is for the petitioner to obtain necessary no objection certificate from the District Collector and that thereafter if the document is presented for registration, the 1st respondent will take necessary action for the registration of such document. 3. True, as submitted by the learned Government Pleader, by Ext.P12 the 4th respondent has requested the District Collector to issue necessary no objection certificate. In pursuance to Ext.P12, it is for the petitioner to approach the District Collector and obtain necessary no objection certificate. Once such a certificate is obtained, thereafter the petitioner can take advantage of the no objection certificate and present the document for registration. If it is so done, I have no doubt that the 1st respondent will take necessary action for the registration of the document so presented, if the same is otherwise in order. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
