The father of petitioners 2 and 3 and first petitioner are cousin brothers. First petitioner was allotted land admeasuring Acs.1.24 in survey No.371/24 of Duvvur Village in Kadapa District for market value under DKT patta in July 1978. Similarly father of petitioners 2 and 3 was allotted Acs.1.84 in survey No.371/27. It is alleged that allottees were in possession since 1978 and raising the crops therein. All the petitioners entered into an agreement of sale and one A.Chandrayudu on 31.8.2009 for sale of lands for consideration of Rs.3,08,000/- and also took advance. When the petitioners approached respondent to know details regarding market value and other particulars, it appears, he refused to register sale deed in respect of lands comprised in survey Nos.371/24 and 371/27. Petitioners then got issued legal notice dated 10.10.2009, but there is no reply. Therefore, they filed the instant writ petition. A perusal of the affidavit filed on behalf of petitioners, whose contents are reiterated by their Counsel, would show that petitioners are not even presented document for registration. Therefore the respondent is directed to communicate market value of the lands to enable the petitioners to submit sale deed for registration. If for any reason, the Sub-Registrar cannot register the same as required under Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908 (the Act), necessary reasons shall be recorded and communicated on free of cost to petitioners. If ultimately the petitioners are aggrieved by such non-registration, they may file appeal before the Appellate Authority under Section 72 of the Act. Thereafter, if any adverse order is passed by the Appellate Authority, the petitioners can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. At present, such course of action would meet the ends of justice. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. _____________ March 02, 2010. (V.V.S.RAO,J) NOTE: Communicate the order by 04.3.2010. (By order) YS
