Srinivaas Constructions, Rep. by its Managing Partner, Mr.T.S.Rajasekhar Gupta, Having its office at Door No.233, Chinna Bazar, Street, Tirupati, Chittoor District. …Petitioner AND The State of Andhra Praesh, Rep. by the Commissioner and Inspector General of Registration & Stamps, Hyderabad & others. …Respondents THIS COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.1535 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner, a partnership concern, complains that the Sub-Registrar, Tirupati, third respondent herein, is not entertaining the documents presented in respect of the flats constructed by it in Sy.Nos.256/2 of Tirupati Village, Muthyalareddypalli Gram Panchayat, Jayasankar Nagar residential area (Old Survey No.256, after sub-division new Survey Nos.256/2 & Survey No.257) of Tirupati Urban Mandal, Tirupati Sub-District, Sri Balaji Registration District, Chittoor District. It is the case of the petitioner concern that the registration authorities, who had entertained the documents presented by it for registration in the years 2009 and 2010, suddenly refused to register the documents presented by it after 8.4.2010 on the ground that the Endowments Department had informed them that the land falling in Sy.Nos.256 and 257 belonged to it. Basing on this communication, it is alleged that the Sub-Registrar’s Office, Tirupati insisted upon the production of a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the competent authority. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, stated that no Notification has been issued under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908, covering the subject lands. He further stated that the petitioner concern did not present any document for registration, as alleged. In that view of the matter and in the light of my earlier judgment dated 2.7.2010 in W.P.No.6016 of 2010, holding that unless a Notification is issued by the State Government under Section 22-A(2) of the Registration Act, 1908, it would not be open to the registration authorities to refuse to entertain documents for registration in respect of the lands covered by such Notification, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner concern to present its documents for registration as per due procedure and upon receipt of such documents, the Sub-Registrar, Tirupati shall verify as to whether the same are in accordance with the norms and thereupon process the same for registration in accordance with law. No order as to costs. _______________ SANJAY KUMAR. J January 29, 2011 Tsr
