Sub-Registrar must receive and process duly presented sale deed by power agent expeditiously; mandamus denied pre-presentation.

ORDER

The writ petition has been filed for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the third respondent to receive the sale deed dated 27.02.2026 in respect of the landed properties comprised in Survey Nos.191 to 196, 198, 200, 209, and 213/2, situated within the limits of Sayalkudi, and to proceed in accordance with law.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that a Power of Attorney has been executed by the petitioners in favour of one V.Rajendiran and that, when the said V.Rajendiran seeks to deal with the property, the document is not being accepted for registration. It is further contended that the Sub-Registrar ought to either assign reasons for refusal or assure registration of the document.

3. Such a contention cannot be accepted, and the relief sought for cannot be granted. If the said V.Rajendiran, as power agent, is duly authorised to present the document, and if the principals are the owners of the property, it is open to the petitioners to present the document for registration. Only upon such presentation can the Sub-Registrar consider the document and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

4. In view of the above, liberty is granted to the petitioners to present the document by generating the necessary token, fixing an appointment, and presenting the same before the third respondent. Upon such presentation, the document shall be received, processed, and appropriate orders shall be passed in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible.

5. Accordingly, this writ petition stands disposed of. No costs.
