4. The above made submission is not seriously disputed by the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents.

5. The following is a relevant excerpt of the common order dated 11.01.2023 passed by this Court in W.P.No.16310 of 2019 and batch.

“13. The power of the registering authority to refuse registration is only, if any of the grounds or objections that are enumerated under the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908, and the Rules made thereunder in particular Sections 19, 20, 21, 22-A, 34, 35 and rule 58 of the Telangana Rules under the Registration Act, 1908, are existing in respect of any such document presented for the registration.

…

19. In the light of the above, this Court is unhesitant to hold that the respondent registering authorities are not entitled to refuse registration of a document on the ground that the link document referred to in the respecti
