SURENDRANATH, SC FOR SBI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 7547 OF 2008 W = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st April, 2008. J U D G M E N T In this writ petition the grievance of the petitioner is regarding Ext. P7. Petitioner submits that a property mentioned therein is to be conveyed to the purchasers as per Ext. P6 Sale Deed. According to him, though the property is mortgaged to the 2nd respondent Bank, the bank has permitted him to execute sale deed subject to the condition that the sale consideration will be deposited in the bank about which there is no dispute. But when the document was presented for registration, the 1st respondent has refused to register the document, and directed the petitioner to produce a no- objection certificate from the Circle Inspector of Police, Chalakudy, as according to him, there is an investigation going on. 2. Having considered Ext. P7, I am not in a position to uphold the same. If a document is presented, and the document is otherwise in order, it is the duty of the 1st respondent to register the W.P.(C) No. 7547 OF 2008 -2- same. There is no such objection in this case. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall take up the matter for registration ignoring Ext. P7, the communication dated 23.2.2008 issued by the 1st respondent. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
