THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.12145 of 2010 June 01, 2010 Between: Maniyar Haji Mohd. Ghouse Saheb, S/o.Mohd. Ismail … Petitioner And The District Collector, Kurnool District And others ... Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.12145 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner’s parents are owners of small extents of land in survey Nos.778/A1, 778/A2, 93/M, 93/L, 781/A and 22A/A situated at Kalluru Village in Kurnool District. The said property is their ancestral property. The petitioner and his family members intended to partition the property among themselves and executed partition deed. The petitioner approached the third respondent to know the particulars of stamp duty, registration charges etc., who refused to receive the document on the ground that there is prohibition for registration of the said property. Aggrieved by the same, present writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the third respondent to receive and register the document. Be it noted 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 Act and/or Rules 26 to 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. This aspect of the matter was considered by my learned brother Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy in W.P.No.15199 of 2004, dated 01.9.2004. Following the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing third respondent or any other Registering Officer to consider the document presented by the petitioner for registration. Be it noted, if for any reason, the document presented is not registered, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to record and furnish reasons under Section 71 of the Act. Even thereafter, if the petitioner has any grievance, he 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 petitioner can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________ (V.V.S.
