Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.B.CHINNAPA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 3533 of 2008 Order: The petitioners state that they purchased some landed property under registered sale deeds from their vendors in Survey No. 359/1 of Sattenapalli, Guntur District, and it is their case that they executed an Agreement of Sale-cum-GPA, and when they presented the same for registration, the 1st respondent, namely the Sub-Registrar, Sattenapalli, Guntur District, is refusing to receive the same. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. On 21.02.2008, this Court ordered notice before admission. Today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submits that the petitioners did not approach the 1st respondent. This submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader cannot be believed. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, however, submitted that if the petitioners approach the 1st respondent, he will certainly receive the documents to be presented by the petitioners 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: The 1st respondent, namely the Sub-Registrar, Sattenapalli, Guntur District, is directed to receive the documents to be presented by the petitioners for registration, and process the same for registration and he shall register the same if they are otherwise in order, or in the event he has any objections to register the documents, he shall communicate the same in writing to the petitioners, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 07.03.2008 Ksr/Nsr .....
