TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 27410 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 18th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is the owner of 3 acres and 1 cent of property covered by Exts.P1 and P2. He wants to sell the property and according to the petitioner, the respondent is refusing registration, demanding production of a no objection certificate from the revenue authorities. It is thereupon the writ petition has been filed seeking a direction for the registration of the documents. 2. In my view, the issue canvassed by the petitioner is fully covered in his favour by virtue of the judgment in Selvam v. State of Kerala (2010(1) KLT 508), which has been followed by this Court in Ext.P5 and several other similar judgments. Therefore, the petitioner is entitled to succeed and the writ petition is disposed of directing that if document alienating the property covered by Exts.P1 and P2 are presented for registration, the respondent shall register the same and deal with the document in accordance with law. However, registration of the document as above shall not be to the prejudice of the WPC No.27410/11 :2 : Government in case property is liable to be proceeded against for any other valid reason. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
