Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8057 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners statedly purchased various extents of lands ranging from 166.66 Sq.yards to 400 Sq.yards in survey Nos.27P and 28/1 situated at Veduruwada Village of Atchuthapuram Mandal in Visakhapatnam District. They purchased the said plots in 2006. Since then they are in possession and enjoyment of the said property. They paid entire sale consideration and are in possession of the property. The sale deeds were executed and presented to first respondent who refused to receive the document for registration. They allege that petitioner No.12 also purchased an extent of Acs.0.60 in survey No.28/1 under a registered sale deed bearing No.4509/2006, dated 31.7.2006. Aggrieved by the same, present writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the first respondent to receive and register the documents. Be it noted that when a document is presented, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to examine the same with reference to Sections 31 to 36 of the Act and/or Rules 26 to 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. This aspect of the matter was considered by my learned brother Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy in W.P.No.15199 of 2004, dated 01.9.2004. Following the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing first respondent or any other Registering Officer to consider the documents presented by the petitioners for registration and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Be it noted, if for any reason, the documents presented are not registered, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to record and furnish reasons under Section 71 of the Act. Even thereafter, if petitioners have any grievance, they 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 petitioners can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. Be it made clear that this order shall not be construed as favourable or unfavourable finding conferring title on parties hereto or third parties. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) June 11, 2010 YS
