I have heard Sri P.Prabhakara Rao, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner has averred that he has purchased the above- mentioned extent on 01.05.2010 under a registered sale deed and that when she sought to sell the same to the third parties, respondent No.2 has not been receiving the document for registration. Under Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the Act’), if respondent No.2 refused to register a document, except on the ground that the property to which it relates is not situate within his sub-district, he shall make an order of refusal and record his reasons therefor in his Book No.2 and endorse the words “registration refused” on the document and on application made by any person executing or claiming under a document, he shall without payment and unnecessary delay give him a copy of the reasons so recorded. In the light of this provision, if respondent No.2 has valid reasons for refusal to register the documents, he shall comply with the provisions of Section 71 of the Act. As evidently he has not followed this provision, he is directed to comply with the provisions of Section 71 of the Act and communicate his decision to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the main petition, WPMP.No.32137 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:06.10.2010 usd
