The parents of the husband of petitioner and her son have relinquished their undivided joint rights, title and interest over the said property and executed a Release Deed in favour of the petitioner on 18.07.2025 and when the same was presented for registration, the respondent No.2 has refused the same vide impugned Memo No.362 of 2025 dated 16.09.2025 basing on the Letter No.B/9363/2024, dated 30.10.2024, issued by the respondent No.4-Tahsildar, Ramachandrapuram.

5. In view of the above made submissions by both sides and for the reasons alike in the order in W.P.No.38 of 2025, dated 10.01.2025, the writ petition is disposed of by setting aside the impugned Letter No.B/9363/2024, dated 30.10.2024 and the respondent No.2 is directed to register the subject document in respect of subject property, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order subject to the petitioner complying with the provisions of the Indian Registration Act, 1908 and Indian Stamp Act, 1899. It is made clear that mere registration of the document does not confer title on the subject property and it is also made clear that this order would not have any bearing on all those matters where title/rights of the parties are pending before the authorities either in revision/appeals for adjudication and in any other case this order also does not preclude the parties in asserting their rights before a competent Court of law. There shall be no order as to costs.

6. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed.
