4.Learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the

respondents would submit that the petitioner never presented the

sale deed before the second respondent for registration. In the

event, if the sale deed is presented, the same would be considered

by the respondents in accordance with law.

5.Heard the learned Counsel on either side.

6.Admittedly, in the present case, the petitioner is intending

to sell the property which she acquired by virtue of the settlement

deed dated 16.03.2023, executed by the petitioner's mother. Hence,

I do not find any impediment for the second respondent to register

the same. The petitioner is directed to present the sale deed for

registration afresh and on receipt of the same, the second

respondent is directed to register the same forthwith, if it is

otherwise in order.
