IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 572 of 2008 (M/S) Osmand Kristofar Samual S/O Shri N.M. Samual and two others. …… Petitioners. Versus 1. State of Uttarakhand, through Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Dehradun and two others. … Respondents. Sri Lokpal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri K.P.Upadhyay, learned Additional C.S.C. the respondents-State. Date April 08, 2008. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Sri Lokpal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri K.P.Upadhyay, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State. This writ petition has been preferred for issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding/directing the respondent no.3 to register the sale deed executed in favour of the petitioners by the Executive Board of the Methodist Church in India, contained Annexure No. 3 to the writ petition and the respondent no. 3 further be directed to return the original sale deed after its registration to the petitioners. The grievance of the petitioners is that when the sale deed was presented before the Sub Registrar (Second) Roorkee for its registration after the registration fee having been deposited by the petitioners on 20-5-2006, the respondent no.3 postponed the registration on the ground that prior permission has not been obtained from the Collector to execute the sale deed on the basis of the Government Order dated 10-8-2000 issued by the Principal Secretary, U.P. Shasan, as referred to in the impugned order dated 22-1-2008 (Annexure No. 5). 2 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material on record. Section 72 of the Registration Act, 1908 provides for appeal to Registrar from orders of Sub-Registrar refusing registration on ground other than denial of execution. The petitioners have alternate statutory remedy to file appeal under Section 72 of the Registration Act, 1908 before the Registrar. On the ground of alternate remedy, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition, which is liable to be dismissed at the threshold. On the ground of alternate remedy, the writ petition is dismissed in limine. All pending applications stand disposed of. ( B.S.Verma, J. ) RCP 3 4
