Ms.807 Revenue (Registration-I) Department, dt. 13-10-2004 as illegal, arbitrary, violation of principles of natural justice, unjust and contrary to G.O.Ms.No. 807 dt. 13-10- 2004 and consequently direct the 4th respondent to release the sale deeds of petitioners after due registration of their respective plots as per G.O.Ms.No. 807 dt. 13-10-2004. Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.VENKATESWARLU Counsel for the Respondent No.1 to 4: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. The petitioners state that they have purchased different extents of lands situated in Sy.Nos. 57 to 60 of Karmanghat village, Saroornagar Mandal, Rangareddy District. When the said documents were presented for registration, the respondents have refused to register the same on the ground that the first respondent issued G.O.Ms.No.751 dated 12-12-2001 wherein it was declared that the registration of documents of immovable properties in Sy.Nos.57 to 60 of Karmanghat Village is opposed to public policy and thus, all the Sub- Registrars were directed not to register any sale deeds in respect of the lands in the above survey numbers. Subsequently, the first respondent issued G.O.Ms.No.807 dated 13-10-2004 in exercise of powers conferred under Sub- Section (1) of Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 denotifying the notification issued in G.O.Ms.No.751 dated 12-12-2001 in respect of the lands in Sy.Nos.57 to 60 of Karmanghat village. In the circumstances, the petitioners contend that the objections raised by the 4th respondent on the basis of the G.O.Ms.No.751 dated 12-12-2001 do not exist and therefore, they approached the 4th respondent with a request to register the sale deeds and to release the documents. However, the 4th respondent has not taken any steps . Hence, this writ petition. It is brought to my notice that an identical issue has been considered by this Court in W.P.Nos.8705 of 2002 and batch, dated 15-12-2004, and the writ petitions were disposed of directing the respondents to release the documents presented by the petitioners therein after due registration. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to release the same without raising any objection on the basis of G.O.Ms.No.751 dated 12-12-2001. However, it is made clear that in case the Registering Authority finds any other objection, it is open to him to raise such objection, but the same shall be communicated to the petitioners, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ 01-03-2005 To 1.
