HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16853 of 2010 Dated: 20-07-2010 Between: K. Brahmeswaraiah. … Petitioner And The Sub-Registrar, Kurnool. … Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16853 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondent in not receiving the sale deed executed by one Sri Eluru Nadipi Subbaiah, resident of Baba Brundavan Nagar, Kurnool, in favour of the petitioner, pertaining to the land admeasuring 36.66 sq. yards, situated in Sy.No.322/1A1A in Rajeev Nagar of Kurnool, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that one Sri Eluru Nadipi Subbaiah is the absolute owner and possessor of the land covered by Sy.No.322/1A1A, admeasuring 36.66 sq. yards and the petitioner entered into an agreement to purchase the same, by an agreement, dated 21st of November 2009, and paid an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- towards advance sale consideration. It is stated that when the vendors of the petitioner has approached the office of respondent to register the said sale deed, respondent is not accepting the same for registration. It is the case of the petitioner that there is no reason or justification for not accepting the document for registration by the respondent. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the document was not presented at all for the purpose of registration, as alleged by the petitioner. If there are any objections for registration of a document, it is open for the respondent to record reasons and refuse registration, but at the same time, the respondent cannot refuse to accept the document itself. In any event, there is also no proof of presentation of any document before the respondent and the learned Government Pleader also states that no document is presented for registration. In view of the aforesaid reasons, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondent to accept the document for registration and consider it for registration with regard to the land in question, covered by Sy.No.322/1A1A, if the document is in accordance with the provisions of the Stamp Duty and Registration Act. It is also made clear that if there is any prohibition for registration of such lands by way of notification under Section 22-A of the Registration Act and/or if the same is mentioned in the prohibitory book maintained for assigned lands, it is for the respondent to record reasons and communicate the same to the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th July 2010 ajr
