                  (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI)

11   02-05-2018

Heard counsel for the appellant and counsel for the respondent.

The learned Single Judge has considered the issue in quite a detail and having based his decision on a Division Bench decision reported in 1998 (3) PLJR 552, which is the case of Rajdeep Singh Vs. State of Bihar & Ors., the writ application has been rightly dismissed. If there was failure on the part of the Patna High Court LPA No.330 of 2017(11) dt.02-05-2018 2/2 executant to present himself and failure on his part to appear before the Registrar despite several summons and notices, refusal to register deed cannot be said to be illegal.

Dismissal of the writ application, however, does not leave the appellant remediless.

The appeal has no merit. It is dismissed.
