Hence, advising the petitioner to seek appropriate orders from the Court to the Sub Registrar, Vissannapeta, Krishna District to enter the details of Court order in Index particulars to the said document to the effect that the document is null and void, is illegal, contrary to the Rules.

Considering the submission of the learned counsel, on perusal of the record, this Court satisfied that the petitioner has shown sufficient cause for grant of interim direction.

Accordingly, there shall be interim direction as prayed for.

Post on 19.02.2021." °
