HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.30561 of 2010 Date : 7-12-2010 Between : I.Vabhineni Jyothi and others .. Petitioners and The District Registrar, Visakhapatnam, Visakhapatnam District and another .. Respondents Counsel for petitioners : Sri S.V. Muni Reddy Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent No.2 in receiving and registering the document relating to land admeasuring Ac.1-61 cents in old S.No.87, R.S.No.223/2 of Madhurawada, Visakhapatnam as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioners have traced a long history of how the title came to be vested in them. In stead of referring to the entire background relating to their title, it will suffice to note that it is the case of the petitioners that with order dated 11-6-2003 passed by the Commissioner (Appeals), office of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Andhra Pradesh, settlement patta granted in favour of the proposed vendor of the petitioners has become final and that therefore it is no longer open to the respondents to claim that the land belongs to the Government. The grievance of the petitioners is that when the document proposing sale of property in favour of the petitioners by the owner of the land was sought to be presented for registration, respondent No.2 has declined to receive the same on the ground that the same is a Government land. If respondent No.2 has reasons to refuse registration of the document, he is bound to pass orders under Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short, "the Act") and communicate the same to the party concerned. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to receive the document that may be presented by the petitioners for registration. If he does not find any objection under law for registration, he shall register the documents. Conversely, if he finds any legally sustainable objections under the provisions of the Act, he shall pass an order under Section 71 of the Act and communicate the same to the petitioners within a period of two weeks from the date of presentation of the documents by the petitioners. If the petitioners feel aggrieved by such communication, they are entitled to avail appropriate remedy in accordance with law. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.38924/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 7-12-2010 AM
