2. By consent of both parties, this Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal.
3. This Writ Petition is filed for issuance of Writ of Mandamus, directing the 2nd respondent to receive the document in TP/315932642/2026 proposed by the Petitioner and directing him to register the gift deed dated 13.10.2026 executed by the Petitioner in favour of his wife Chandralekha, W/o. Balasubramani Sy.No. 466/1, measuring 3 Acres and 80 cents situated at Kottaipatti Revenue Village, Virudhunagar Taluk, Virudhunagar District and release the same.
4. Even though the petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to receive the petitioner's document, which was executed as a Gift Deed, based upon an online for registering the document made on 14.10.2026 between 14:00 and 15:00 hours, it is the claim of the respondent that, as on date, the petitioner has not presented the document. If such a document is presented by the petitioner, there cannot be any oral refusal of registration, and an order has to be passed by the respondent.
5. Since it is the claim of the 2nd respondent that the document was not presented before him, the petitioner is directed to present the
WP(MD) No. 31527 of 2026 document before the 2nd respondent on 12.11.2026, along with a copy of this order, and upon presentation of the document, the same shall be processed by the 2nd respondent in accordance with law.
6. With the aforesaid direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 04-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No Nsr To:
