The Karnataka High Court (HCK) has taken a strong stance against sub-registrars who have refused to update records in two cases despite binding court orders. The court reminded these registration authorities that they do not have the authority to appeal judicial decisions or demand additional instructions when litigants present certified copies of court decrees. The HCK stated that the role of the sub-registrar in such situations is strictly ministerial and that insisting on procedural formalities that render court decrees ineffective is unacceptable. This ruling highlights the necessity for compliance with judicial mandates and reinforces the legal obligation of sub-registrars to act on court orders without unnecessary delays or challenges.
