Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8944 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner statedly agreed to purchase the house property bearing Door No.17-11-7, Fort Road, Vizianagaram, in an extent of 402 Sq.yards. She entered into agreement of sale with Rudrabatla Venkata Gowriswara Rama Shastry and his sons on 22.10.2002 for a sale consideration of Rs.2,50,000/-. She also paid Rs.2,25,000/- towards part of sale consideration. Rama Shastry died on 17.12.2004. In spite of several demands, his sons did not come forward to execute the sale deed. Petitioner therefore filed O.S.No.4 of 2006 on the file of the Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Vizianagaram, for specific performance of agreement of sale. The Court passed decree in her favour on 06.3.2006. For execution of decree, she filed E.P.No.38 of 2006. Petitioner paid balance sale consideration of Rs.25,000/- by challan dated 14.3.2006, and the Court sent the document to first respondent for registration of sale deed. First respondent issued endorsement dated 12.11.2008 stating that the property belongs to Endowments Department and unless second respondent endorses no objection, sale deed cannot be registered. Aggrieved by the same, present writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the first respondent to register the document. Be it noted that when a document is presented, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to examine the same with reference to Sections 31 to 36 of the Act and/or Rules 26 to 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. This aspect of the matter was considered by my learned brother Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy in W.P.No.15199 of 2004, dated 01.9.2004. Following the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing first respondent or any other Registering Officer to consider the document presented by the petitioner for registration and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Be it noted, if for any reason, the document presented is not registered, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to record and furnish reasons under Section 71 of the Act. Even thereafter, if petitioner has any grievance, she may file appeal before the appellate authority under Section 72 of the Act. Thereafter, if any adverse order is passed by the appellate authority, petitioner can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. Be it made clear that this order shall not be construed as favourable or unfavourable finding conferring title on parties hereto or third parties. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) June 11, 2010 YS
