THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 1630 OF 2011 ORDER: Feeling aggrieved by the inaction of the respondent in entertaining the document sought to be presented by the petitioner for registration, she filed the present writ petition. According to the petitioner, her mother-in-law Smt. Kondru Naramma was the absolute owner and possessor of the land admeasuring Acs.1.55 cents in survey No.165/2 situated at Kothapalem village and mandal, Prakasam district having purchased the same from its lawful owner Battula Ratnamma by virtue of a registered sale deed bearing document No.144 of 1956 and similarly purchased the land to an extent of Acs. 0.12 cents in survey No.172/1 from Gudiseva Laxminarayana on 17.04.1976. Subsequently, her mother-in-law gifted the said land in favour of her husband by virtue of a registered gift deed dated 01.08.1988 and after the death of her husband she succeeded the said property and due to certain financial constraints, she offered to sell the land in survey No.165/2 admeasuring Acs. 1.55 cents but the respondent refused to receive the document without assigning any reason. At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner, placed reliance on order, dated 20.12.2006, in W.P.No.26275 of 2006, wherein this Court observed that when a document is presented, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to examine the same with reference to Sections 31 to 36 of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the Act’) and Rules 26 and 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. On that premise, this Court disposed of the said writ petition filed with a similar grievance, with a direction to the Registering Authority to accept the document presented by the petitioner and consider for registration, and that if for any reason, the document is not registered, he shall record reasons and communicate the same to the party concerned under Section 71 of the Act. It is further observed that if the petitioner feels aggrieved by such communication, she is entitled to file an appeal under Section 72 of the Act and that she is also entitled to avail the remedy of suit under Section 77 of the Act, in the event of passing of an adverse order in the appeal. As the grievance in the present writ petition is identical, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of the said order with a direction to the respondent to receive the document presented by the petitioner and if he has any reason to refuse registration, he shall pass a reasoned order and communicate the same to the petitioner, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of document from the petitioner. No costs. ____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA,J DATE: 31.01.2011 lvl THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION NO. 1630 OF 2011 DATE: 31.01.2011
