This Court has held in the judgment in Selvam Vs. State of Kerala [2010 (1) KLT 508] that such insistence of NOC for registration of sale deed is illegal provided the document presented for registration is otherwise valid in all respects. Consistent with the principle thus laid down by the Division Bench of this Court, these writ petitions are also disposed of, directing that the fourth respondent will accept and register the sale deeds, if the documents are otherwise valid. However, it is clarified that the registration so effected W.P.(C) No.22539&22585/2011 : 2 : shall not prejudice any proceeding that the respondent may initiate against the property.
