                   for registration and token has been given to the petitioner,
                   but the same has not been registered, therefore, he has
                   approached this Court by filing this application.

                   this Court disposed of the said writ petition on 06.09.2019
                   directing the Registering Officer to register the instrument
                   forthwith without creating any obstruction and insisting
                   upon any further condition and return the registered
                   instrument to the petitioners therein by completing the
                   entire exercise within three days from the date of receipt of
                   certified copy of that judgment. Therefore, the petitioner's
                   case may be considered in the light of the above judgment.
                         In view of the facts and circumstances of the case,
                   this writ petition is disposed of directing the opposite party
                   no.4 to act in consonance with the judgment passed by
                   this Court dated 06.09.2019 passed in Smt. Maitri
         Mohanty (supra) and do the needful in accordance with
        law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period
        of ten days from the date of communication of this order.
              With the above observation and direction, the writ
        petition stands disposed of.

        are continuing, learned counsel for the parties may utilize
        the soft copy of this order available in the High Court's
        website or print out thereof at par with certified copies in
        the manner prescribed, vide Court's Notice No.4587, dated
