Tracing title from sale deed dated 28.01.1977 bearing Document No.67 of 1977 and sale deed dated 05.06.1977 bearing Document No.1432 of 1977, the petitioner presented a partition deed for registration. The request for registration was declined by citing the decree in O.S.No.85 of 2010.

are not dealt with in the decree. He seeks leave to execute and present a document pertaining thereto.

Therefore, there is no reason to interfere with the impugned order. By leaving it open to the petitioner to execute and present a document pertaining to the third and fourth items mentioned in the partition deed, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
