The relevant of the representation is extracted hereunder: "I state that the procedure followed by the SRO Kundrathur is in order and the two different view taken by the Sub-Registrar Nanueri and Sub- Registrar Thirungurankudi is devoid of merit and born out of lack of understanding of law and therefore their decision is wrong and caused considerable damage and inconvenience to the registrant. Therefore, I request you to consider the circumstances under which the rejection slip has been given by the two Sub-Registrar and to quash the same and instruct them to do the rightful act of entertaining the presentation of the document of General Power of Attorney under the Property Jurisdiction and pass necessary orders on the same as expeditiously as possible." 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.

It is open to the petitioner to put forth his explanation/objection to the reasons set out in the refusal check slips before the Sub Registrar, Nanguneri and Sub Registrar, Thirugurankudi. If any such explanation/objection are filed, the Sub Registrars shall consider the same and proceed to register the General Powers of Attorney, if it is otherwise in order, in accordance with law, after affording a reasonable opportunity of hearing to petitioner. If, for any reason, the Sub Registrars are of the view that the registration ought to be refused, they would do so after assigning reasons, which was agreed to by the learned counsel 3/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.
