The Madurai Bench set aside a refusal check slip after the record showed that the local planning authority had approved the property or building.

Case reference — Elenthendral v. The Sub Registrar, W.P.(MD) No. 31117 of 2026, 2 November 2026, Justice K. Kumaresh Babu

Why the document was refused

The petitioner presented a document recording deposit of title deeds. The Kallikudi Sub Registrar issued a refusal check slip on 30 September 2026 on the basis that the property was unapproved.

What the court found

The records showed that the local planning authority had granted approval for the subject property or building. The court set aside the refusal and allowed the petitioner to present the same document again. Registration was directed if the document was otherwise in order.

What to check when the slip says unapproved

Compare the approval with the exact property and document described in the slip. This ruling concerned an approval already on record. The direction remained subject to other applicable registration requirements.
