Counsel for respondent: Sri The Court made the following ORDER: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V ESWARAIAH CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4637 of 2011 ORDER: This revision is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India by the District Registrar, Guntur and Sub-Registrar, Prathipadu aggrieved by the order dated 30-03-2011 in A.S.No.7/2009, on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Guntur allowing the appeal filed by the respondent herein directing the petitioners herein to assess the market value by taking realistic value at the time of execution of document as Rs.75,000/- per acre and to collect the deficit stamp duty and registration fees and admit the document for its registration. The 1st petitioner, vide his proceedings dated 30-3-2009, on a reference under Section 47 A of the Indian Stamp Act, fixed the realistic market value of the agricultural land at Rs.1,50,000/- per acre. In the instant case, the document presented in the year 2006 was kept pending vide Doc.No.P15/2006 in respect of Ac.16-50 cents in Sy.No.248 of Kopparru Villalge, Prathipadu mandal. The parties have adopted the market value at Rs.40,000/- per acre, where as the Sub-Registrar valued the said land at Rs.130/- per sq yard, and therefore, at the request of the parties, the Sub-Registrar referred the document under Section 47 A of the Indian Stamp Act. On reference, the District Collector and the Registrar, Guntur under Section 47 A of the Indian Stamp Act fixed the market value at Rs.1,50,000/- on the ground that there was a solitary document in Doc.No.2043/80 of an extent of Ac.0-30 cents sold for the purpose of house- sites at Rs.60,000/- per acre, though the basic value register rate is Rs.14,000/- per acre in the year 1981. Except that document there is no other document to show that the market value of agricultural land was Rs.1,50,000/-. Therefore, on an appeal filed by the respondents, the learned Principal Senior Civil Judge, Guntur by the impugned order held that the 1st petitioner erroneously fixed the market value at Rs. 1,50,000/- pre acre, and having regard to the certificates issued by the Tahasildar, Pedanadipadu dated 7-3-2009 and the Village Secretary, Grampanchayat, Kopparu dated 24-12-2006 in the year 2006, which speak that the market value of the land is Rs.50,000/- per acre, and having regard to the facts and circumstances that there are no chances for conversion of the said agricultural land into house-sites in the near future, the market value of the land was fixed at the rate of Rs.75,000/- per acre. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I do not see any infirmity legal or otherwise to interfere with the impugned order under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The revision is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________ (V.ESWARAIAH,J) DATE: 04.11.2011 grk THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4637 of 2011 DT.04.11.2011 GRK
