No.12197/2010-Y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 7th day of April, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein is aggrieved by the refusal of the Sub Registrar to register the original of Ext.P1 on the plea that there is undervaluation. Ext.P1 is a copy of the settlement deed. It is averred in the writ petition that it was presented before the Registrar for registration and the Registrar declined to accept the same on the alleged reason of undervaluation. In a similar matter, this Court by Ext.P2 directed the Registrar to register the documents and to resort to the provision under Section 45B of the Stamp Act if there is undervaluation. 2. In the light of the above, there will be a direction to the respondent to register the original of Ext.P1 on production of the same by the petitioner if the same is otherwise in order and without prejudice to the right to proceed under Section 45B of the Stamp Act if there is undervaluation. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
