PETITIONER AND Government of Andhra Pradesh, Registration & Stamps Department, Rep. by its District Registrar, Medak District, at Sanga Reddy And 2 others .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Seeking a Mandamus declaring the order issued by the 1st respondent in the proceedings No.MV/482/2004, dated 21.06.2005 as illegal and arbitrary, the present writ petition is filed. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the authorized lessee of the toll gate for collection of toll tax in respect of minor bridge at K.M.502/4 of Pune-Hyderabad road, N.H.9 near Rudraram village, Medak District for the period from 01.04.2004 to 31.03.2006 and he paid 3% stamp duty on the total bid amount, but the 3rd respondent insisted him to pay 5% stamp duty. Questioning the same, the petitioner filed W.P.No.5193/2004 before this Court and the same was disposed of by an order dated 15.04.2002 directing the 1st respondent to forward the document to the Registry and the petitioner is liable to pay stamp duty if the registry determines 5% stamp duty. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed writ appeal and the same was dismissed confirming the order passed in W.P.No.5193/2004. Later on, the petitioner submitted objections before the 1st respondent on 18.06.2005 in respect of raising stamp duty. But the 1st respondent rejected his objections and issued the impugned proceedings demanding the petitioner to pay deficit stamp duty. Hence the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel on either side. The learned counsel for the respondents contended that against the impugned proceedings, a statutory revision is available under Section 56 of the Indian Stamp Act. In that view of the matter, without entering into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the petitioner to file statutory revision against the impugned proceedings as available under Section 56 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. No order as to costs. _____________ K.C. BHANU,J Dated: 31.08.2005 Dsr Note:’ Issue CC in two days B/o Dsr
