Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.A.SUDERSHAN REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled seeking to declare, by way of Mandamus, the action of the respondent in not registering the sale deed and others documents presented by the ﬁrst petitioner in respect of land admeasuring Ac.0- 35½ guntas in Sy.No.459/AA in Muthangi Village, Patancheruvu Mandal, Medak district as arbitrary and illegal and consequently to direct the respondent to register the sale deed and other documents presented by the first petitioner. 2. The case of the petitioners is that the ﬁrst petitioner is owner of the land in an extent of Ac.0-35½ guntas in Sy.No.459/AA in Muthangi Village, Patancheruvu Mandal, Medak district having purchased the same under a registered sale deed bearing document No.11335 of 2005 dated 31.08.2005. While so, he wanted to sell away the said land to the 2nd petitioner and approached the respondents for registering the documents. The grievance of the petitioners is that the document was not registered on the pretext that a status quo order was passed in respect of various extents of lands including the land in question in I.A.No.1513 of 2005 in O.S.No.63 of 2005 on the ﬁle of the First Additional Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Secunderabad. The learned counsel for petitioners contends that since neither the ﬁrst petitioner nor his father are parties to the said suit, the action of the respondent in not registering the sale deed is arbitrary and illegal. 3. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage itself. 4. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue submits that the petitioners have never approached the respondent and presented any such document for registration and if the petitioners ﬁle any document for registration the respondent has no objection to receive and process the same in accordance with law. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the submission made by the learned Government Pleader, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondent to receive the sale deed and others documents, if any, presented by the ﬁrst petitioner in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.0-35½ guntas in Sy.No.459/AA in Muthangi Village, Patancheruvu Mandal, Medak district and register the same, if they are otherwise in order. However, if there is any objection to register the same, the respondent has to pass appropriate speaking order to that effect and communicate the same to the petitioners. 6. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. --------------------- N.V.RAMANA, J. 15th October 2008 CVRK
