Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.SRINIVAS Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1&2: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled by the petitioner questioning the action of the 2nd respondent – Sub Registrar in not disposing of his application for not registering the schedule property in the name of third parties at the instance of the 3rd respondent herein. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is tken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage itself. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to the Sub-Registrar, Singanamala Mandal, Ananthapur District not to register the schedule land in the name of third parties at the instance of the 3rd respondent herein on the ground that he purchased the said land from the 3rd respondent under registered sale deed dated 25.6.1991 and since then he is in possession and enjoyment of the said land but the 3rd respondent and his sons having colluded with third parties, are intentionally entering into agreements of sale for the same land for higher rates and, therefore, he approached the 1st respondent – District Registrar, Ananthapur and also ﬁled an application before the 2nd respondent – Sub Registrar not to register the said land, but the 2nd respondent, under the inﬂuence of the 3rd respondent, is going to register the said land in favour of third parties. Admittedly, there is no provision in the registration act prohibiting the Sub-Registrar to either reject or refuse to register a document at the request of a third party. Therefore, the relief sought for by the petitioner in this writ petition cannot be granted. The writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs.
