THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.4394 of 2011 ORDER: The cause for complaint in this writ petition is that the Sub- Registrar, Pullampet, YSR Kadapa District, is keeping the conveyance deeds executed by the petitioners pending registration as document Nos.P1/2011 and P2/2011 and not releasing them. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue produced the written instructions received from the Sub-Registrar, Pullampet, with reference to this case, wherein the Sub-Registrar, Pullampet, stated that owing to the pendency of Writ Petition No.6749 of 2009 before this Court pertaining to the properties which are the subject matter of the petitioners’ documents, they were kept pending registration. He referred to the Circular dated 10.03.2010 issued by the Commissioner and Inspector General of Registration and Stamps, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, stipulating that Registering Officers were not to go ahead with registration of a document in the event the High Court or any other Civil Court restrained a person from alienating the property which is the subject matter of such document, and the same is brought to the notice of the Registering Officers. In the present case, admittedly, there is no order passed by any Court restraining the Sub-Registrar, Pullampet, from entertaining the petitioners’ documents in relation to the subject properties for registration. That being so, mere pendency of a writ petition in connection with the same properties would not be reason enough for the Sub-Registrar, Pullampet, to keep the documents pending registration. There shall accordingly be a direction to the Sub- Registrar, Pullampet, to complete the registration process in respect of the documents kept pending as document Nos.P1/2011 and P2/2011 and release the same. The writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. _______________ SANJAY KUMAR,J 01.03.2011 Note: Issue CC by 03.03.2011 B/o v v
