• Partition deed

Dear Team
We have applied for Partition deed in 2014 as my expired, then, without leaving any Will for us. There was a dispute in our land which while verification shown as government land in the records. It was mistakenly written in the records. Now, after 4 years, it is cleared and displayed online as our land only. 
But the problem is that, as per Sub registrar office, they put our deed in refusal without any issuance of notice ti us and asking us to take the deed away from them and raise an appeal at District registrar office with all backup documents. We have paid Rs. 60,000 to advocate for Partition deed. Now, without any fruitful output, we are being told to take the deed back. Don't know what district registrar office will say and when they will order to sub registrar office to process and when the deed will be made. 
Please advice whether the deed be taken back from refusal and process further. If taken to district registrar office, shall we be justified. Please advice the legal approach.

Before taking it back, take you chance by approaching the High Court and filing a writ of mandamus against the sub-registrar.

Since the mistake in the records has been rectified and your land no more appears as a Govt land in the records, you must seek a direction against the sub-registrar to proceed on your application in accordance with law and take a decision thereon by accepting or refusing the same.

You first prefer an appeal against the decision of the sub-registrar before the District registrar, let his analyse the facts and give his decision.

If there is no fruitful decision from district registrar too, then you may file a writ agaisnt the decision seeking direction to the sub-registrar to do the needful as per the orders of court, if there is an order by the court to proceed with the registration accordingly.

As per S.71 of the Registration Act, the registrar has to record the reasons for refusal to register. Then you can prefer an appeal under S.72 of the act to the district registrar. Don't worry, it shall be registered.

These are 2 different proceedings. Filing of suit for partition is in civil court and proceedings before sub registrar office is another issue. When your work is getting done through sub registrar office I don't think partition suit is required.
