By consent of both the parties, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner executed a registered Release deed in favour of her brothers in certain immovable properties. The properties covered by the deed are situated in multiple registration jurisdictions viz., Central Chennai, North Chennai, Chengalpattu and Royapettah. When the deed was presented for registration, the seventh respondent without registering the said document, kept the same as pending on the ground that verification from other District Registrar offices was required, due to the cross- jurisdictional nature of the properties described in the release deed. Due to inordinate delay in registering the said deed, the petitioner sent a representation dated 12.09.2025 to the respondents 1, 4 to 7 and another representation dated 10.10.2025 to the respondents 2 & 3, seeking to register and release the release deed. However, the said representations was not considered by the respondents, as on date. Hence, the petitioner has come forward with the present writ petition.

Learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submitted that the petitioner's representations would be considered and appropriate orders passed within a time frame that may be fixed by this Court. 6. Heard the learned counsel on either side and perused the materials available on record. 7.
