It is seen that petitioner availed a loan from the 2nd respondent by mortgaging property. The loan is repaid, which is evident by receipt produced by the petitioner. In the circumstance, what is required is not registration of the receipt but registration of document redeeming the property mortgaged to Housing Board. In view of the above, it is for the parties to present the release deed in the stamp paper remitting registration fee and on completion of the above formality, 1st respondent will register the redemption deed.
