For Petitioner : Mr.R.Sri Ram For Respondents : Mr.D.Sasikumar Additional Government Advocate ***** ORDER The present Writ Petition has been filed for the issuance of a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus, to quash the impugned check slip, dated 30.04.2025 and consequently, to direct the 3rd respondent to accept and register the sale deed presented in Document No.TP/218077425/2025 dated 30.04.2025 pertaining to the property situated in S.No.133/1B2C1 to an extent of 5 cents situated at Chettikulam Village, Radhapuram Taluk, Tirunelveli District. 2.Through the impugned order, the respondents have refused to register citing that the petitioner has divided the property by forming fresh layout and the same is not approved. Therefore, it is attracting Section 22(A)2. 3.On perusing the sale deed, it is seen that the petitioner is purchasing 5 cents of land. It has been declared as housing site in the encumbrance certificate. It was sold as early as 05.02.2007 and the classification of the property is shown as housing plot where four boundaries are shown. In the four boundaries, the western side is shown as road. Therefore, already the road is available. The petitioner is not dividing the property and the road is not being 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No.16379 of 2025 laid. Therefore, the sub clause 3 of the circular, dated 16.03.2020, will protect the petitioner's registration. 4.The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that even though the 2007 document states that road is on the western side, the petitioner's four boundaries are not showing any road. Therefore the subclass 3 of the circular, dated 16.03.2020, is not attracted and the benefit under subclass 3 cannot be granted to the petitioner. But this contention is rejected for the sole reason that the said circular only states if there is any formation of new road, then only Section 22(A) is attracted. In the present case, new road has not been laid. 5.Therefore the impugned refusal check slip is quashed and the respondents are directed to register the document within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6.With the above observations, this Writ Petition is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. 07.07.2025 (2/3) NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes Tmg 3/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No.16379 of 2025 To: 1.The Inspector General of Registration, 100, Santhome High Road, Pattinapakkam, Chennai 600 028 2.The District Registrar(Administration), Collectorate Campus, Palayamkottai, Kokkirakulam, Tirunelveli 627 009 3.The Sub Registrar, Radhapuram Sub-Registrar Office, Radhapuram, Tirunelveli District 4/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P(MD)No.16379 of 2025 S.SRIMATHY , J.
