When the matter was listed on 23.01.2026, there was no representation on behalf of the petitioner on that day. Therefore, the matter was directed to be listed today. Even today, there is no representation on his behalf. 3. However, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, appearing on behalf of the respondents, fairly submits that since the petitioner has not filed any sale agreement before the 4th respondent, for registration, and therefore the registration of the aforesaid document does not arise and if the relevant original sale 3 agreement is filed before the 4th respondent, they will follow the due process of law. 4. Recording the aforesaid submission of learned Assistant Government Pleader, and without going into merits of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed by directing the petitioner to file appropriate sale agreement before the respondent authorities for registration. If the required sale agreement is filed before the respondent authorities, for registration, needless to specify, the respondent authorities shall register the document, by following due process of law. No order as to costs. Consequently, Miscellaneous Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. __________________________ JUSTICE SUMATHI JAGADAM Date:30.01.2026 DSH
