ORDER : 1. Heard both sides. 2. By consent, the main Writ Petition itself is taken up for final disposal. 3. No counter is filed on behalf of Respondents. 4. It appears that the Second Respondent/Sub-Registrar, Sivakasi Sub-Registrar Office, Sivakasi, Virudhunagar District, had issued Check Slip No.1/2016, dated 22.07.2016, by refusing to register the Sale Deed, on the ground that in M.P. Nos. 3, 2, 2, 2, 2 and 2 of 2009 in W.P.Nos.9031, 9032, 9033, 9034, and 9035 of 2009, an order of interim stay was granted to register the document and as such, the Petitioner was informed that the Documents in Survey Nos.1347/1A, 1347/1B, 1347/1C, 1347/1D, 1347/2B, 1347/3B, 1347/3D, 1347/3A2, 1347/3C, in respect of Anaiyur Village, Sivakasi Sub-Registrar Office, could not be registered. Further, the Petitioner was informed that his documents were refused to be registered and hence, it was returned. 5. At this stage, this Court, on going through the 'Return Endorsement' made by the Second Respondent in Check Slip No.1/2016, dated 22.07.2016, as stated supra, is of the view that the Second Respondent had only returned the documents by refusing to register the Sale Deed in question, in respect of the aforesaid survey numbers in issue because of the reasons mentioned supra. As such, this Court is of the considered view that there is no bar/impediment in Law for the Petitioner to re-present the Return/Check Slip No. 1/2016, dated 22.07.2016, after complying with the defects mentioned in the said check slips. 6. Viewed in that perspective, this Court, in furtherance of substantial cause of justice, directs the Petitioner to submit necessary reasons/explanations for the return made in the Check Slip No.1/2016, dated 22.07.2016, issued by the Second Respondent, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
