J U D G M E N T

The petitioner claims title to 77 square meters of land, which he obtained by virtue of a decree in a partition suit. As a matter of fact, the issues were settled by and between the parties, and a compromise petition was filed. Acting on the same, Ext.P1 judgment was passed. Ext.P2 is the decree. The petitioner took delivery by virtue of Ext.P4. On the strength of these documents, the petitioner sought for transfer of registry, which is not being acted upon by the respondents, is the short grievance.

2. Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader and also the learned Counsel for the 4th respondent, this Court directs the 2nd respondent, Tahsildar to effect transfer of registry in favour of the petitioner, provided the above referred facts are true and correct to the satisfaction of the 2nd respondent. The above directed exercise shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent, for compliance.

3. The learned Counsel for the 4th respondent would submit that the application for change of ownership of the building will have to be made online, after adhering to the prescribed formalities. Once transfer of registry is effected, the petitioner will do the same, and if the application is in order, there will be a direction to the 4th respondent to pass orders on such application for transfer of ownership within a period of one month from the date of such application being submitted online. Needless to say that the room number etc. will have to be stated by the petitioner in the application to be submitted online.

The Writ Petition (Civil) will stand disposed of, as above.
