THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.2982 OF 2010 DATED:02.03.2010 Between: M.Satyamma .. Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by its Principal Secretary, Department of (Stamps and Registration) Revenue, Secretariat, Hyderabad and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.2982 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner statedly is the owner of the land admeasuring Acs.2.00 in Survey No.283/33 situated at Abdullapur Village, Hayatnagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. She also obtained pattedar pass book and title deeds under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattedar Pass Books Act, 1971. In 1993, she sought permission to change the land use from agriculture to non-agriculture land and sold the same. Considering the representation vide Letter No.B1/5768/93, dated 27.10.1993, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Hyderabad (East Division) issued a letter to the effect that necessary Supplementary Sethwar was issued by the Assistant Director, Survey and Settlement Officer, Ranga Reddy District and that it shall be within the discretion of the land holder to sell or otherwise deal with the property. Be that as it is, the petitioner entered into a transaction with Chiragoni Srisailam and another for selling the subject land. The sale deed was presented to the second respondent. The same was kept pending as P.No.156 of 2009. Subsequently, on 09.11.2009, the registration was refused on the ground that it is a notified Poramboke land as notified by the Revenue Authorities. The petitioner was advised to take back the document and prefer an appeal before the Registrar. Aggrieved by the same, she filed the present Writ Petition seeking a Writ of Mandamus and direction. This Court heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material available on record. A perusal of Sections 71, 72 and 77 of the Registration Act, 1908 (the Act) shows that if any document is presented for registration, the competent registering authority can refuse registration and furnish reasons therefor. If the party aggrieved thereby prefers an appeal under Section 72 of the Act, and the said appellate authority also does not permit registration, the remedy is to file a suit under Section 77 of the Act before the competent Court which shall have to dispose of the same within a period of six months. The remedy provided under the Act is an effective remedy as the very title of the petitioner is in question in view of the contention of the Revenue Authorities that it is a Poramboke land. In that view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits or the contentions raised by the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed giving liberty to the petitioner to prefer an appeal within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 02.03.2010 KH
