RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO JUDGE Kss WPC.NO.17629/2011 C APPENDIX PETITIONER'S EXHIBITS: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ---------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 17629 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner seeks a direction for registration of Ext.P1 which is a document of partition. The document is stated to be executed among the legal heirs of deceased Subramanian and according to the petitioner, it was presented for registration. Thereupon the 2nd respondent issued Ext.P2, stating that all the parties to the basic document, namely the document by which the deceased inherited the property, are not parties and therefore the document cannot be registered. It is thereupon this writ petition is filed. 2. First of all, irrespective of the correctness of the reasons stated in Ext.P2, in my view none of the provisions contained in Kerala Registration Act enable the first respondent to issue a communication in the nature of W.P.(C) No. 17629 OF 2011 :2 : Ext.P2. If a document presented for registration is otherwise valid in all other respects, such a document is liable to be registered. In that view of the matter Ext.P2 is quashed and the first respondent is directed to accept the document of registration and deal with the same in accordance with law. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ul/-
