Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.A.RAVINDER REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: The grievance of the petitioners is that when they presented certain documents for registration, the first respondent, on the ground that he received a letter dated 28.02.2004 from the second respondent not to register sale deeds in respect of land in Sy.Nos.34, 35 and 36 of Chengicherla village, Ghatkesar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, is refusing those documents for registration. 2. In the counter filed by the first respondent on behalf of respondents, he denied the petitioners presenting any documents for registration, and has taken some other pleas which are not relevant for the purpose of disposal of this writ petition. 3. As and when a document is presented for registration, the registering authority has to receive the document and if it cannot register the document for any reason, he should pass a reasoned order for refusal of registration. Till such time as the registering officer passes an order refusing registration, petitioners cannot be said to be aggrieved by communication between respondents inter se. 4. Therefore, with a direction to the first respondent to receive any sale deeds if any when presented for registration by the petitioners and act strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act and the rules made thereunder, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ C.Y.SOMAYAJULU, J Dated: 17.03.2005 RAR To 1 The Sub-Registrar, Ghatkesar, R.R.District. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Ghatkesar Mandal, R.R.District. 3 2 CCs to G.P for Revenue, High Court Bldgs, Hyd.
