Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.V.R.REDDY KOVVURI Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 8199 of 2008 Order: Questioning the action of respondent No.1-Sub-Registrar, Rayachoty, Kadapa District, in refusing to receive and register the documents presented by the petitioner in respect of the lands in an extent of Ac.8-71 cents in Survey No.16/1, Ac.2-07 cents in Survey No.16/3, Ac.4-36 cents in Survey No.21/1, Ac.5-05 cents in Survey No.23/1 and Ac.2-35 cents in Survey No.23/2, situated at T. Syamalavaripalli village, Rayachoty Mandal, Kadapa District, on the ground that the said lands are Government lands, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. A counter affidavit is filed on behalf of respondent No.1. Reiterating the counter averments, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submitted that the petitioner has not presented any document before respondent No.1 for registration. He, however, submitted that if the petitioner approaches respondent No.1, he would certainly receive the documents to be presented by the petitioner for registration. In view of the above stand taken by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: Respondent No.1, namely the Sub-Registrar, Rayachoty, Kadapa District, is directed to receive and process the documents to be presented by the petitioner for registration in respect of the lands in question, and register the same, if the same are otherwise in order. In the event, if there are any objections for registering the said documents, it is open for respondent No.1 to make an endorsement to that effect, record reasons and communicate the same to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 04.07.2008 Nsr
