THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.19669 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 13th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner wants to execute a sale deed in respect of the property belonging to the petitioner. In the Revenue records the property is shown as paddy land. But presently it is not a paddy land. The petitioner wants to show the present nature of the land in the sale deed instead of that in the revenue records. The petitioner apprehends that if the nature of the land is shown as other than paddy land, the registering officer may refuse to register it. The petitioner's apprehension arises from Ext.P5 communication from the Government to the registration officers, wherein there is a direction that in the sale deeds, the nature of the property as shown in the Revenue records is to be insisted upon. The petitioner's contention is that the view of the Government as is expressed in Ext.P5 has changed in view of Ext.P6. The petitioner, therefore, seeks the following relief; “issue a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent to register the sale deed relating to Ext.P1 to P4 properties of the petitioner without insisting that the description of the property should (sic) made as in the basic tax register, especially in view of Ext.P6.” 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that presently there is no impediment for registering a sale deed in respect of the property if presented for registration even if the nature w.p.c.19669/10 2 of the land is shown as it exits now and that the sale deed if presented would be registered, if the nature of the land is shown in the sale deed as it exits now notwithstanding the entry in the revenue records. This is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
