The present writ petition is filed challenging the impugned order dated 16.05.2025 passed by second respondent, whereby the partition deed dated 16.05.2025 which was sought to be registered was refused registration on the premise that the petitioner must obtain a legal heirship certificate from the Tahsidhar. 3.

It was submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that refusal on account of non production of legal heirship certificate from the Tahsildar despite the fact that the above decree dated 01.03.2022 was produced before the Sub Registrar, is unwarranted. 5. At the outset, it was submitted by the learned Special Government Pleader that if the partition deed dated 16.05.2025 is re- presented before the second respondent, the same would be registered, if it is otherwise in order. If, for any reason, the Sub Registrar is of the view that the registration ought to be refused, he would do so after assigning reasons, which was agreed to by the learned counsel for the petitioner. 6. In view thereof, it is open to the petitioner to re-present the _________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No.22611 of 2025 partition deed dated 16.05.2025 before the second respondent. On such re- presentation, the second respondent shall register the partition deed, if it is otherwise in order, in accordance with law. If for any reason, the second respondent refuses to register the partition deed, he shall assign reasons in the refusal slip, which was agreed to by both counsel for petitioner as well as respondents. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any views with regard to the merits of the case and it is open to the concerned respondent to consider the case on its own merits and in accordance with law. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 26.06.2025 NCC: Yes / No Index : Yes / No Speaking Order : Yes / No mrn To 1.The Inspector General of Registration, _________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No.22611 of 2025 No.100, Santhome High Road, Chennai. 2.The Sub Registrar, Office of Sub-Registrar, Walajabad. _________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No.22611 of 2025 MOHAMMED SHAFFIQ, J. mrn W.P.No.22611 of 2025 26.06.2025 _________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
