1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the alleged refusal of the registering authority to accept the sale deed proposed to be submitted by him for registration. No reason has been indicated. In fact, the document itself appears to have not been accepted.
3. This Court has time and again held that the registering authority being a functionary under the statute cannot refuse to accept a document submitted for registration, though the decision whether to register it or not can be taken by him in accordance with law. Order No.
