THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.4847 OF 2010 DATED:03.03.2010 Between: B.Venkata Krishnaiah .. Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by the District Collector, Kadapa, Kadapa District and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.4847 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is resident of Kadapa Town. Statedly, he purchased an extent of Ac.0.41 cents of land comprised in Survey Nos.43/4A and 43/4B of Kadapa District from one Balli Obaiah under registered document No.5666 of 1980. He also filed O.S.No.14 of 2000 on the file of the Court of the I Additional District Judge, Kadapa, against the State for declaration of title. The same was decreed on 11.07.2005. On 04.01.2010, he sold land admeasuring Ac.0.11 cents in the above mentioned Survey Number to S.B.Abdul Jabbar. He approached second respondent to know the details of stamp duty and registration. But, second respondent refused to receive and process the sale deed. The petitioner then approached the District Collector under the Right to Information Act, 2005, requesting information as to whether any notification was published under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 (the Act). In response thereto, first respondent issued endorsement dated 22.01.2009 to the effect that there was no such notification issued under Section 22-A of the Act. Therefore, the present Writ Petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus directing second respondent to receive the sale deed and process the same under the provisions of the Act. At the stage of admission itself, this Court heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra Area). The endorsement issued by the District Collector on 22.01.2009 conclusively proves that the Government of Andhra Pradesh did not issue any notification under Section 22-A (1)(b)(e) read with Section 22-A (2) of the Act. Therefore, there cannot be any serious objection on that issue. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of directing the second respondent to receive the sale deed, when presented by the petitioner for registration and process the same in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act and Registration Rules. If, for any other reason, the document cannot be registered, needless to mention that the second respondent has to record reasons and furnish the same to petitioner, in which event, it shall be open to the petitioner to avail the remedy available under Section 72 of the Registration Act. No order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) Dated:03.03.2010 Note:- Furnish C.C. by 10.03.2010 (B/o) KH
