THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 13422 of 2010. ORDER: The grievance of the petitioners is with regard to the action of the Sub-Registrar, Kothavalasa Mandal, Vizianagaram District, in keeping their Document bearing No. 1 of 2010 pending registration. The said document pertains to an extent of Ac. 0-78 cents in S.No. 25/23 of Kothavalasa village and Mandal, Vizianagaram District. It appears that the District Collector, Vizianagaram issued endorsement dt. 12.5.2010, marking a copy to the Sub-Registrar, Kothavalasa, stating that there is a dispute between two persons in respect of the land in S.No. 25/23 and therefore they should approach the appropriate Civil Court for adjudication of their title. Basing thereon, the registration of the petitioners’ document has been stalled. Upon instructions, the learned Asst. Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that the Sub-Registrar, Kothavalasa, had by communication dt. 21.6.2010 stated that except for the title dispute in respect of the property covered by Document No.1 of 2010, the Registration Department had no objection for registering the said document. Trite to state, it is not for the Registration Authorities to entertain or enter into disputes with regard to title. A mere letter from the District Collector, Vizianagaram to the effect that the parties should approach the civil court for adjudication of their title does not bar the Registration Authorities from completing the registration formalities in respect of the document presented by the petitioners, subject to compliance with the necessary formalities and procedure. In that view of the matter, there shall be a direction to the Sub- Registrar, Kothavalasa to complete the registration formalities in respect of the Document bearing No. 1 of 2010 presented by the petitioners, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR,J 22.06.2010. KRB.
