“I have visited the Office of sub-registrar on 2 occasions, I was told by the concerned Sub-Registrar that she is over burdened and cannot handle as too many documents are pending with her,” he said while also alleging inappropriate behaviour of the officer.
“Further I would like to point out that today when I was talking to one of my colleague advocate outside the office premises maintaining proper social distance, the Sub-Registrar came shouting outside and asked all of us to go out of the office which was unwarranted and thereby I felt insulted in the presence of the public as also I was in a public place and not in any private establishment to teach us how we all should maintain social distance,” he stated as he submitted a formal complaint with the concerned authority.
Meanwhile, the Mapusa Advocates Forum President Adv Paresh Rao has urged the minister to look into the issues related to appointments for approval and registration of deeds at the office of the Sub-Registrar Bardez.
