THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5334 OF 2010 March 09, 2010 Between: Mantha Trinatha Varaha Narisimhayajulu And others ... Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Secretary, Revenue, Secretariat, Hyderabad ... Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.5334 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioners; four in number – purchased under five sale deeds dated 01.5.2007 agricultural wetlands as well as dry lands admeasuring Acs.0.58 (survey No.178/1), Acs.3.25 (survey No.88/1), Acs.0.60 (survey No.88/3), Acs.1.21 (survey No.94) and Acs.0.96 (survey No.146/1) situated at Adavivaram village of Gopalapatnam Mandal in Visakhapatnam District. It appears, petitioners’ vendor, Mantha Srihari filed W.P.No.7441 of 2007 feeling aggrieved by the inaction of second respondent in not registering the documents. This Court disposed of the same on 12.4.2007 directing the Sub-Registrar, Gopalapatnam, to receive and process the document presented by Srihari. In pursuance thereof, sale deeds were registered on 01.5.2007. Petitioners now intend to dispose of the property. They approached the second respondent for obtaining necessary information regarding stamp duty and registration fee. It is not given. Therefore, they filed instant writ petition seeking a direction to respondent to register documents that may be presented by petitioners. There is no dispute that second respondent being registering authority under Registration Act, 1908 (the Act) is required to act within the provisions of the Act. Therefore the second respondent is directed to communicate stamp duty and registration fee to enable the petitioners to submit sale deeds 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. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. ______________ March 09, 2010 (V.V.S. RAO, J) YS
