Heard the learned Govt. Pleader as well. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances, 4th respondent is directed to register the sale deed, draft of which has been W.P.(C) No.6489/2011 - 2 - produced as Ext.P2 as and when the same is presented, 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.
