No. 20934 of 2009 O R D E R: It appears, the petitioner has purchased the subject land in public auction conducted by the cooperative officials. According to the respondents, this is an assigned land. May be, it is an assigned land, but the same was mortgaged to the Primary Agricultural Society for obtaining loan and when the original assignee fell in arrears, the subject land was sought to be sold under the provisions of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act and the petitioner purchased the same. Therefore, the said land cannot be treated as assigned land and the law in this regard is well settled. Therefore, 1st respondent is duty bound to register the document, if any presented by the petitioner in this regard. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the petitioner is directed to present the document before 1st respondent for registration. On such presentation of the document, 1st respondent shall receive the same and process, as per law, subject to the provisions of the Registration and Stamp Acts, and release the said document. For any reason if the registration is not possible, he shall pass appropriate orders as per Section 71 of the Indian Stamp Act. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs.
