It is not in dispute that in respect of the said land, L.G.C.No.13 of 2004 filed by the Government of A.P. is pending on the file of the Special Court under the A.P. Land Grabbing (Prohibition Act), Hyderabad. Though the Government of A.P. filed I.A.No.353 of 2004 seeking a direction to the respondents not to make any constructions in the application schedule land, during the pendency of the Land Grabbing Case, the Special Court by order dated 27-12-2004 closed the said Application observing that any alienation made or any construction made in the schedule property shall be subject to the result of the main LGC. In the circumstances, the learned Counsel for the petitioner contends that the registering authority ought to have received the sale deed presented for registration and ought to have processed the same in accordance with law. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submits that any such transaction shall be subject to outcome of the Land Grabbing Case pending before the Special Court. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly in view of the order passed by the Special Court in I.A.No.353 of 2004, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to receive the document executed by Mr.K.Manmohan Rao in favour of the petitioner in respect of the land in S.No.5/3 of Raidurg, Panmaqtha Village, as and when presented and process and register the same in accordance with law. However, it is made clear that the order of the Special Court in I.A.No.353 of 2004 in LGC.No.13/2004 shall be binding on the petitioner and his vendor and the transaction in question shall be subject to the result of the main L.G.C. It is also made clear that in case there is any other objection for registering the document, it is open for the registering authority to raise such objection, but the same shall be communicated to the petitioner and his vendor within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ------------------ G.ROHINI, J 13th April, 2005 Note: Furnish CC within one week. B/o.
