The parties executed the sale deed dated 05.03.2010. The petitioners allege that when they presented the same with the respondent he refused to accept the same for registration. Therefore, they filed the instant Writ Petition seeking a direction to the respondents to accept the sale deed and register the same. The petitioners also refer to the possible reasons for non-registering the sale deed, but it is not necessary to go into these in this order. The learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue made the submissions. 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 (the Act) and/or Rules 26 and 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. This aspect of the matter was considered by my learned brother Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy in W.P.No.15199 of 2004, dated 01.09.2004. Following the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent or any other Registering Officer to consider the document presented by the petitioners for registration. Be it noted, if for any reason, the document presented is not registered, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to record and furnish reasons under Section 71 of the Act. Even thereafter, if the petitioners have any grievance, they may file appeal before the appellate authority under Section 72 of the Act. Thereafter, if any adverse order is passed by the appellate authority, the petitioners can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 23.03.2010 Note: Issue C.C in three days. B/o. vs
