THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 12740 of 2007 Date: 01.02.2008 Between: T. Narayana Swami and others. ..... PETITIONERS AND The Sub-Registrar, Chandragiri, Sri Balaji Registration District, Chittoor District and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 12740 of 2007 Order: Questioning the action of the 1st respondent in not registering the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of the lands situated in Survey Nos.131/1, 132/7 and 135/1 of Durgasamudram village, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, Chittoor District, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. The respondents filed their counter affidavits. In the additional counter affidavit filed on behalf of the 1st respondent, it is stated that after considering the documents presented by the petitioners, the 1st respondent has passed orders dated 16.06.2007, giving reasons for refusal to register the documents, and the said refusal orders were received by the petitioners on 23.06.2007 i.e., after filing the present writ petition. Thereafter, the petitioners have preferred an appeal under Section 72 of the Registration Act, which is pending consideration before the District Registrar, and since the petitioners have already availed the statutory remedy of appeal, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. In view of the averments made in the additional counter affidavit of the 1st respondent, learned counsel for the petitioners agreed for disposal of the writ petition with a direction to the District Registrar to consider and dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioners. Since the appeal filed by the petitioners is said to be pending consideration before the District Registrar, and in view of the agreed stand taken by the learned counsel for the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The District Registrar is directed to consider and dispose of the appeal, preferred by the petitioners under Section 72 of the Registration Act against the orders dated 16.06.2007 passed by the 1st respondent, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 01.02.2008 Nsr
