3. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the document No.P.929/2022 has been refused registration for the following reasons:

i. The scheduled plot is carved out without any approval from the GHMC and is therefore registration of an unothorized

plot is prohibited vide the C & IG Memo No.G2/257/2019, dated 26.08.2020 and 29.12.2020.
