RAMANA W.P. No. 8206 of 2008 Oral Order: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the 2nd respondent, namely the Sub-Registrar, Registration Department, Renigunta, Chittoor District, in refusing to receive and register the document presented by the petitioner for alienation of Plot bearing No.10, admeasuring 284 Sq. Yards in Survey No.21/3 situated at Thimminaidupalyam village, Tirupathi Urban Mandal, Chittoor District, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently direct the 2nd respondent to receive and register the document presented by the petitioner in respect of the Plot in question. When the matter is taken up for admission, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue produced copy of letter dated 17.04.2008, addressed by the 2nd respondent to him. The relevant portion of the said letter reads thus: “It is submitted that through the communication cited in the 2nd reference, the Mandal Revenue Officer, Tirupati Urban Mandal declared Survey No.21/3 covering an extent of Ac.1.50 cents of Thimminaidupalem village as poramboku land which is prohibited for transfer and Registration. The so called document has not been presented in this office so far. As and when the petitioner presents the documents along with all requirements the same will be considered in accordance with the provisions of Registration Act.” From the above, it is clear that the petitioner is said to have not presented any document for registration so far. Hence, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: If the petitioner presents any documents for registration, the 2nd respondent, namely the Sub-Registrar, Registration Department, Renigunta, Chittoor District, shall receive and process the same in respect of the Plot in question in accordance with the provisions of the Stamps and Registration Act, 1908, and register the same, if the same is otherwise in order. In the event, if he has any objection to register the said document, it is open for him to make an endorsement to that effect by recording his reasons and communicate the same to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 28.04.2008 KSR
