Be it noted, if for any reason, the documents presented are not registered, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to record and furnish reasons under Section 71 of the Act. Even thereafter, if the petitioner has any grievance, he may file appeal before the Appellate Authority under Section 72 of the Act. Thereafter, if any adverse order is passed by the Appellate Authority, the petitioner can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. Learned Assistant Government Pleader brought to the notice of this Court that the subject land is classified as Vagu as per the impugned Government Order. Therefore, while considering the documents for registration, the fourth respondent or any other Registering Officer should keep the same in mind. The Writ Petition, subject to the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 22.11.2006 Note: Issue C.C by 27.11.2006. B/o. vs
