4.The circumstances under which the Registering Authorities can refuse a document for registration has been provided under Section 22B of the Registration Act and except for the reasons stated therein, the Registration Authorities cannot refuse registration on any other ground.

5. The reasoning adopted by the third respondent, refusing to register the Sale Deeds, appears to be misplaced. G.O.Ms.No.78 dated 04.05.2017, does not relate to the powers of the Registering Authority to register an unapproved plot. On the other hand, G.O.Ms.No.78, only provides for the cut off date for considering the regularization of unapproved plots and does not empower the Registering Authority to refuse registration of an unapproved plot. It is also not in dispute that there is no other Government Order or Circular of the Inspector General of Registration, which prohibits the registration of an unapproved plot.
