The Joint Collector has no authority in law to issue such memos. The learned single Judge having found that the memo issued by the Joint Collector is absolutely void and without jurisdiction rightly quashed the same. No case is made out requiring our interference. This order, however, shall not preclude the competent authority to issue notification under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908. With the observations as above, the writ appeal shall stand dismissed. No costs. (B.SUDERSHAN REDDY,J) DT.29.07.2004 (K.C.BHANU,J) msv.
