Chennai,Sep 9 (PTI) Seeking to prevent further development of unauthorised

layouts and conversion of agricultural areas for non-agriculture use in an
unplanned way, Madras High Court today restrained authorities in Tamil Nadu
from registering sale deeds for plots in such layouts or any flats or buildings
constructed on them.

"This order becomes necessary to prevent further development of

unauthorised layouts and conversion of agricultural areas for non-agriculture
use in an unplanned manner as also to save ecology and prevent flooding,"the
first bench, comprising Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice R
Mahadevan said while giving time to Government to come out with the
necessary policy documents and legislative changes.

The bench stated this while passing an interim order on a PIL from an
advocate 'Elephant' Rajendran, seeking to forbear authorities concerned from
giving approval or permission to convert agricultural land into layouts and
construct flats or buildings on them.

Earlier when the matter came up on August 5,the bench had directed senior
officers of Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority and Registration
Department to be personally present in court to explain the situation to enable
it pass orders.

When the matter came up today, government submitted that that the authority
concerned cannot refuse registration where plots in unauthorised colonies are
sought to be registered.

Asked how this could be so, the bench was informed that the boundaries of the
area of which registration is sought have to be specified in the sale deed.

To this, the bench said that "the sale itself will become incapable of
registration when the developer sells the unauthorised property where sanction
has not been obtained to develop the layouts."

"We are of the view that this aspect would brook no delay till the government
develops some thought process for plans and brings into force Section 22-A of
the Registration (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 2008," it said.

The bench then directed that no registering authority in the state shall register
any sale deed.

"We thus hereby direct that no registering authority shall register any sale deed
in respect of any plots in unauthorised layouts or any flats/buildings
constructed on such plots," the bench said.

It also directed the Inspector General of Registration to circulate the order to all
the registering authorities forthwith for compliance and posted the matter for
further hearing to October 21.
