It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased the property under registered sale deed. He wanted to sell the property to others. He approached respondent No.4 for getting the particulars of the stamp duty. The same was refused and the Sub-Registrar has orally insisted for payment of land conversion charges. Therefore, the present writ petition is filed. A perusal of the affidavit filed on behalf of the petitioner, whose contents are reiterated by his Counsel, would show that petitioner has presented documents for registration and the same is kept pending. Therefore, respondent No.4 is directed to register the documents, and if for any reason, the Sub-Registrar cannot register the same, as required under Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908 (the Act), necessary reasons shall be recorded and communicated on free of cost to the petitioner. If ultimately the petitioner is aggrieved by such non-registration, he may file appeal before the appellate authority under Section 72 of the Act. Thereafter, if any adverse order is passed by the appellate authority, the petitioner can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. At present, such course of action would meet the ends of justice. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 12.03.2010 vs
