THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.14656 of 2010 Date : 3-11-2010 Between : Chinta Venu Gopal s/o.Chinta Lakshminarayana and another .. Petitioners and The Sub-Registrar, Alampur, Mahaboobnagar District and another .. Respondents Counsel for petitioners : Sri M.Vidyasagar Counsel for respondents : None The court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in refusing to register land admeasuring Ac.8-20 cents in Sy.No.115/A of Kasipuram village, Alampur Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, there is no representation for the respondents. Respondent No.1 filed a counter affidavit. Sri M.Vidyasagar, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the property which his clients are intending to sell and for which purpose they have approached respondent No.1 for registration, is a private property unconcerned with the Wakf as alleged by the respondents. In the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.1, it is inter alia stated that the land in Sy.No.155 is reported to be Wakf property by the Inspector Auditor of Wakfs. In paragraph-5 it is further stated as under: “A notification shall be published by the Government in the Gazette prohibiting registration of documents pertaining to the properties mentioned in Clause (e) of sub-section (1) of Section 22-A only.” From the above noted stand of respondent No.1, it is evident that no notification as required under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 has been published. So long as such publication has not been made, respondent No.1 cannot refuse to register the sale deed. For the above mentioned reasons, the Writ Petition is allowed. Respondent No.1 is directed to register the sale deed that may be presented by the petitioner in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. This order shall not be construed as this Court pronouncing upon the title of the petitioners or their intending purchasers and the Wakf Board or any other authority shall be free to assert their title in a competent court of law. __________________________ C.V.
