The issue involved in the present writ petition is squarely covered by the earlier order passed by this Court in Sri Balaji Fibre v. Inspector General of Registration and others [2024 (6) CTC 70]. This Court has categorically held that insofar as receiving the sale certificate and making necessary entry in Book-I under Section 89(4) of the Registration Act is concerned, no stamp duty or registration fee is payable. 4. In the considered view of this Court, the filing fees which was insisted under G.O.Ms.No.28, dated 23.03.2023 has already been put to challenge and the Division Bench of this Court has entertained the writ petition and the operation of the said Government Order has been stayed by an order dated 13.04.2023. In view of the same, there is no question of insisting for payment of filing fees to receive the sale certificate in order to make necessary entry in Book-I. 5.
