THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO. 1859 OF 2011 ORDER: Feeling aggrieved by the inaction of the respondent in entertaining the document sought to be presented by the petitioner for registration, he filed the present writ petition.

The petitioner allegedly purchased the said property vide registered sale deed dated 06-12-1990 and that when he approached the respondent and sought to know the valuation particulars for the purpose of payment of stamp duty and registration charges, the latter refused to furnish any information on the ground that there is prohibition regarding registration of properties comprised in the above-mentioned survey number. At the hearing, Sri A.Bhuvana sunder Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, placed reliance on the order, dated 10.11.2010, in W.P.No.27852 of 2010, wherein this Court observed that when a document is presented, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to examine the same with reference to Sections 31 to 36 of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the Act’) and Rules 26 and 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. On that premise, this Court disposed of the said writ petition filed with a similar grievance, with a direction to the Registering Authority to accept the document presented by the petitioner and consider for registration, and that if for any reason, the document is not registered, he shall record reasons and communicate the same to the party concerned under Section 71 of the Act. It is further observed that if the petitioner feels aggrieved by such communication, he is entitled to file an appeal under Section 72 of the Act and that he is also entitled to avail the remedy of suit under Section 77 of the Act, in the event of passing of an adverse order in the appeal. As the grievance in the present writ petition is identical, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the said order with a direction to the respondent to receive the document presented by the petitioner and if he has reason to refuse registration, he shall pass a reasoned order and communicate the same to the petitioner, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of document from the petitioner. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.2277 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA,J DATE: 02.02.2011 kvr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO. 26390OF 2010 DATE: 02.02.2011
