SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 22811 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 21st day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner owns some property in Vagamon Village in Idukki District which the petitioner wants to sell. But the 2nd respondent has issued directions to the Sub Registrar not to register any document pertaining to Vagamon Village without an NOC issued by the Tahsildar. The petitioner's contention is that, in so far as the Registration Act does not contemplate any such NOC for registration of a document, the 2nd respondent cannot validly issue any direction to the 1st respondent to insist on an NOC from the 3rd respondent. Petitioner submits that, this issue is squarely covered by the decision of the Division Bench of this court in W.A. No.2080/2009. 2. I have considered the learned Government Pleader also. He could not dispute the fact that the issue is squarely covered by Ext.P3 decision of the Division Bench. W.P.(C)No. 22811 of 2010 -2- In the above circumstances following that judgment, this writ petition is allowed and the 1st respondent is directed to register the sale deed as and when presented by the petitioner without insisting on an NOC from the 3rd respondent, provided the petitioner complies with all other statutory conditions.
