HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4538 of 2007 Dated:15.03.2007 Between: N.V.S.V.Ramakrishna Rao. …Petitioner. and Sub-Registrar (Stamps and Registration) and others …Respondents. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4538 of 2007 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed assailing the action of the respondents in not releasing the document, bearing No.P-510 of 2006, dated 16.12.2006. The petitioner contends that though he complied with all the requirements, under the Indian Stamp Act and the Registration Act, the document is kept pending, on the basis of a Circular Memo, dated 13.11.2006, and a notification issued under Section 22-A of the Registration Act (for short ‘the Act’). Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The document presented by the petitioner was kept pending on two grounds; the first is that the Government issued a notification, under Section 22-A of the Act, in G.O.Ms.No.583, dated 04.05.2005; the second is that the Circular Memo, dated 13.11.2006. This Court has already quashed Section 22-A of the Act, and thereby, the G.O. cannot be treated as an obstacle for processing the document of the petitioner. As regards the Circular Memo, dated 13.11.2006, learned Government Pleader states that it has since been superseded and a new set of guidelines is issued through Circular Memo, dated 13.03.2007. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to process and take necessary steps for releasing the document, in accordance with the existing procedure and without any reference to G.O.Ms.No.583, dated 04.05.2005. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ Dt.15.03.2007 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J GJ
