13.In view of the above discussion, the third respondent cannot refuse to register the Sale Certificate merely on the basis of the letter given by the Investigation Officer. The refusal slip issued by the third respondent on 24.03.2019 is hereby quashed. The third respondent is directed to receive the Sale Certificate dated 17.12.2019 from the petitioner and register the same on payment of the necessary stamp duty and registration charges and if the document is otherwise in order. It is made clear that the directions issued to the third respondent, confines only to the Sale Certificate issued in favour of the petitioner. This order should not be construed, as if, all the documents that stands in the name of M/s. Royal Agro Dairy Limited can be registered. As and when any such document is presented, it is the duty of the third respondent to bring it to the notice of the Investigation Officer. This direction is issued since it involves public interest where several depositors are said to have been cheated and they have lost their hard earned money. The Investigation Officer shall take immediate steps to get the property attached by the Competent Authority under the relevant Enactment. The direction issued by this Court in this writ petition will confine itself to the peculiar facts of the present case and it cannot be taken as a precedent for registration of any other document which is the subject matter of the criminal proceedings in Crime No.2 of 2018.”
