It is submitted by the petitioners that though the said land was a patta land of respondents 4 to 7 and the petitioners have purchased the same after paying valid consideration, the second respondent has not accepted the documents for registration on the basis of the instructions of the third respondent. Though it is alleged that based on the instructions of the third respondent the documents presented by the petitioners are not accepted for registration, no copy of such written instructions have been filed. It is also not known as to what are the reasons for refusal to receive the said documents for registration. As per Section 71 of the Registration Act 1908, if there are any valid reasons for not accepting the documents for registration, the same are to be recorded and are to be communicated to the petitioner. Inasmuch as no reasons are recorded by the second respondent- registering authority, I dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to accept the documents which are proposed to be presented by the petitioners for registration and consider the same for registration in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act. However, it is made clear that if there are any objections, the second respondent-Sub-Registrar shall record the reasons and communicate the same to the petitioner. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 12.11.2007 sh
