This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent – Sub-Registrar, Siddavatam, Kadapa District, in refusing to receive and register the document executed by the petitioner in respect of the lands to the extents of Ac.5.18 cents and Acs.5.00 in Sy Nos.430/1, 431/1, 930/1 and 924 of Kshakarajupalli Village, Siddavatam Mandal, Kadapa District, in favour of her son Sri B. Laxminarayana, as arbitrary and illegal. The lands mentioned above were originally owned by Sri Kancherla Chennappa. As he committed default in repayment of his loan, therefore, the aforementioned lands were auctioned by the Cooperative Agricultural Development Bank, Siddavatam, vide E.P. No.146/76-77 and the petitioner’s husband and the petitioner purchased the above extents of land in the public auction. Now, when the petitioner wants to gift away the land in favour of her only son, namely, B. Laxminarayana, and presented papers before the first respondent, the same were not entertained. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as the petitioner had purchased the above mentioned lands in an auction therefore first respondent cannot refuse to entertain the documents presented by the petitioner for the purpose of registering the gift deed in favour of his son. After hearing the counsel for the petitioner, I find merit in the arguments raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner along with her husband purchased the aforementioned lands in an open auction conducted by the Cooperative Agricultural Development Bank, Siddavatam. Therefore, there is no dispute with regard to the title of the petitioner over the said land. In view of the above, the petitioner is free to convey the said property in favour of her son. In this view of the matter, the first respondent cannot refuse to entertain the documents being submitted by the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to receive the documents presented by the petitioner for the purpose of gifting the above mentioned lands in favour of her only son and register the same in accordance with law. No order as to costs. _______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J 16.3.2011 bnr Note: C.C. in one week. (B.O) bnr
