2. Heard the learned Counsel on either side. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage.
3. The impugned refusal check slip had been issued on the ground that the subject property forms part of an unapproved layout. However, the learned Counsel for the petitioner produced the building planning permission granted by the Block Development Officer concerned as early as on 14.09.2019, which had also been followed up with an approval granted by the Panchayat on 28.09.2020.
4. In that regard, this Court is of the view when the building planning permission have been authorised by the local planning authorities, such refusal noting that the property lies in an unapproved layout cannot be a proper reason. The proceedings of the Block Development Officer dated 14.09.2019 would also indicate that a regularisation of the plot had been made on payment of necessary charges by the developer of the land.
5. For the aforesaid reasons, the impugned refusal check slip stands set aside with a direction to the petitioner to re-present the document and
WP(MD) No. 32226 of 2026 on such re-presentation, the respondent is directed to receive and register the same, if it is otherwise in order.
6. In fine, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 12-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No cmr To The Sub Registrar, Sub Registrar office Manapparai, Tiruchirappalli District,
