ORDER

P.B. Suresh Kumar, J.— In this interlocutory application, the appellant seeks an order directing the Registry to communicate the interim orders of injunction granted by this Court on I.A. No.1796 of 2011 to the Sub Registrar, Chevayoor.

2. As per the order passed on I.ANo.1796 of 2011 on 27.8.3013, this Court injuncted the respondent in the appeal from alienating or encumbering in any manner, the plaint schedule property in O.S.No.414 of 2011 on the file of the Court of the Subordinate Judge, Kozhikode, for a period of six months and the said order was later extended until further orders on 28.2.2014. It is stated by the appellant in the affidavit filed in support of the application that though the orders passed by this Court on I.A.No.1796 of 2011 were communicated to the Sub Registrar, within whose jurisdiction the plaint schedule property is situated, the same are not entered in the books maintained by him and consequently, the interim orders issued by this Court are not reflected in the encumbrance certificates issued in respect of the plaint schedule property from the Sub-Registrar. It is also stated in the affidavit that the particulars of the orders issued by this Court are not entered in the books maintained by the Sub Registrar on the ground that only orders which would fall within the purview of Section 89(5) of the Registration Act, 1908, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’ for short, can be entered in the books maintained at the Sub Registrar. It is further stated in the affidavit that if the orders injunction passed by this Court are not entered in the books maintained at the Sub Registry, grave prejudice would be caused to the appellant, as notwithstanding the order, the legal representatives of the respondent are attempting to alienate the plaint schedule property to third parties.

3. Section 89 of the Registration Act, 1908, as amended by the Kerala Act 7 of 1968, reads thus:

89. Copies of certain orders, certificates and instruments to be sent to registering officers and filed:
