Though the petitioner is the actual owner and was not a party to the suit, relying on this injunction, the 4th respondent refused to register several documents presented by the petitioner, keeping them pending as P.Doc.Nos.1–5 of 2024. Appeals against such refusal were dismissed on 08.04.2024. 3.

However, registration was still refused.
