Subject to the aforesaid observations and directions, the petition stands disposed of. 3. In compliance of the aforesaid order, the accused had considered the representation of the complainant and had declined to register the Sale Deed, inter alia¸ on the ground that the seller’s RTC and revenue sketch, which are mandatory were not available. A copy of the order dated 20.9.2025 is handed over to this Court. 4. It is not necessary for this Court to examine the merits of the said order. However, it is clear that the present complaint does not survive as the complainant’s representation has been considered. We accordingly, close the complaint.
