IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No.5865 of 2009 Date of decision: April 20, 2009. Gurbinder Singh ...Petitioner(s) v. State of Punjab & Ors. ...Respondent(s) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri S.K. Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - (Oral): Notice of motion to respondents No.1 and 3 only. Shri G.S. Attariwala, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice. The petitioner seeks a direction to the Improvement Trust, Amritsar for execution and registration of the sale deed in respect of property No.305, Green Avenue, Amritsar. The petitioner's case is that the above mentioned property has been transferred in his favour by the previous owner, namely, Raminder Singh by way of registered gift-cum-transfer deed dated 7.2.2008 (Annexure P-8). However, no sale deed has been executed by the Improvement Trust so far in favour of the owner. In this regard, the petitioner is stated to have filed a petition under Sections 36 and 37 of the Registration Act, a copy of which is placed on record as Annexure P-9. Thereafter, a legal notice dated 15.12.2008 (Annexure P-10) has also been served. Having heard Learned Counsel for the Petitioner and the Learned State Counsel but without expressing any views on merits of the petitioner's claim regarding gift deed etc., I am of the considered view that if the petitioner has filed a petition under Sections 36 and 37 of the Registration Act, the competent authority, namely, the Sub-Registrar-cum- Tehsildar, Amritsar is obligated to dispose of the same in accordance with law. Consequently, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Sub-Registrar-cum-Tehsildar, Amritsar to dispose of the pending petition under Sections 36/37 of the Registration Act filed by the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Dasti. April 20, 2009. [ Surya Kant ] kadyan Judge
