HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.21982 of 2009 Date: April 25, 2011 Between: Marri Venkata Subba Reddy, S/o.Yellamanda Reddy, aged About 43 years, Occ:advocate, R/o.Sathenapalli, Guntur District … Petitioner And The District Registrar, Narasaraopeta, Guntur District and others … Respondents Order: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks directions, by way of mandamus, to respondents 1 and 2 not to entertain any document in relation to the property admeasuring Ac.8.94 cents in Sy.No.208, Gudipadu village, Guntur District. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the owner and possessor of the aforesaid land which was purchased by document No.340/2009 dated 09-03-2009 and registered before the Sub-Registrar, Krosur. It is his case that the said property falls within the jurisdiction of Sub-Registrar, Krosur; in spite of the same, third respondent, by making false claim that he has got share in the said property is now trying to fabricate the documents and proposing to register the said land by submitting the document before the second respondent who has no jurisdiction to entertain or register the said document. Counter-affidavit is filed by respondents 1 and 2 on behalf of the respondents. In the counter-affidavit, while denying the allegations made by the petitioner, it is stated that no document is presented by the third respondent for registration; however, it is stated that one Sri Chevula Narasimha Rao alias Bodaiah and five others who are residents of Gudipadu village of Krosur Mandal presented three documents for registration before the second respondent of the schedule properties by alienating the same in favour of Smt.P. Jhansi Lakshmi, Sri Gundega Chinnaiah and Sri Gundega Deva Swamy. It is stated that schedule properties are partly situated within the jurisdiction of the Sub-Registrar, Sattenapalli and some properites are situated within the jurisdiction of Sub- Registrar, Krosur. It is the case of the petitioner that there is no jurisdiction for the second respondent to entertain the documents as no part of land which is proposed to be alienated will fall within the sub-district of Sattenapalli. It is to be noticed that as alleged by the petitioner no document is presented by the third respondent for registration. It is evident from the counter-affidavit filed by the respondents that one Sri Chevula Narasimha Rao alias Bodaiah and five others who are residents of Gudipadu village of Krosur Mandal presented three documents showing part of the property within the jurisdiction of Sub-Registrar, Sattenapalli also. Under Section 28 of the Registration Act, 1908, the documents mentioned in Section 17 sub-section (1) [clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of Section 17, sub- section (2), in so far as such document affects immovable property, and Section 18 [clauses (a), (b) and (cc), shall be presented for registration in the office of a Sub- Registrar within whose sub-district the whole or some portion of the property to which such document relates is situate. Even before a document is considered for registration, apprehending registration of such document, this writ petition is filed. If the petitioner is of the view that no part of the document presented for registration by third parties falls within Sattenapalli sub-district, it is for him to raise such objection by approaching the second respondent-authority. In anticipation of registration of document in question by the second respondent, relief sought by the petitioner cannot be granted. For the aforesaid reasons, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting liberty to the petitioner to file a representation before the second respondent expressing his objection with regard to registration of any document presented by third parties with regard to land admeasuring Ac.8.94 cents in Sy.No.208, Gudipadu village, Guntur District within a period of two weeks from today. If any such representation is filed, I am sure, second respondent will consider the same before taking up the document, if any, presented for registration with regard to the properties in question. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) April 25, 2011 MRR
