In April 2000, the petitioner presented a sale deed for registration before the second respondent, which was refused.

This aspect of the matter was considered by my learned brother Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy in W.P.No.15199 of 2004, dated 01.9.2004. Following the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent or any other Registering Officer to accept the document presented by the petitioner and consider for registration.
