THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4408 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners of land in different survey numbers of Rachakonda Village, Narayanpur Mandal, Nalgonda District. With a view to sell the same, they approached the Sub-Registrar, Chandur, 3rd respondent herein to verify the necessary particulars. It is stated that they were informed by the 3rd respondent that the District Collector, Nalgonda, 1st respondent herein addressed a letter dated 12.11.2008 requesting him not to entertain registration in respect of land in Rachakonda Village, unless the genuineness of pattadar pass books of the vendors is certified by the Tahsildar. The petitioners feel aggrieved by the same. On behalf of respondents 2 to 4, a counter affidavit is filed stating inter alia that the petitioners did not present any document at all. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. A perusal of the letter dated 12.11.2008 addressed by the 1st respondent discloses that certain instances of fabrication of pattadar pass books as regards the lands in Rachakonda Village has come to his notice and with a view to protect the Government and excess ceiling lands in that village, he requested the 3rd respondent to be cautious in the matter of registration of documents. By itself, the impugned order did not determine the rights of any parties. The maximum that can happen on account of the said letter is that the 3rd respondent has to satisfy himself as to the genuineness of pattadar pass books. In case, the petitioners are able to satisfy that they hold genuine pattadar pass books in their favour, there is no reason to believe that the 3rd respondent would not admit the documents presented by them to registration. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 3rd respondent shall process the documents that may be presented by the petitioners for registration, in accordance with law and the petitioners shall be under obligation to satisfy that they hold pattadar pass books and title deeds in respect of the land. It shall be open to the 3rd respondent to insist upon the certification of genuinity of the pattadar pass books, that may be submitted by the petitioners. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 18.03.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4408 of 2009 Date: 18.03.2009 JSU
