T.Senthilkumar v. the Sub Registrar
Case brief
What is this about?
The Hon'ble Single Judge allowed three writ petitions challenging the Sub Registrar's refusal to register settlement deeds. The Court held that refuting registration based on a presumption that nearby land sold as a layout makes the current agricultural land a house site is without legal basis, relying on Subramani. The orders were set aside.
What did the court decide?
The refund orders dated 01.12.2023 were set aside and the Sub Registrar directed to register the settlement deeds within 15 days from receipt of a copy of this order.
