THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 793 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners intended to execute certain documents as regards the lands in Survey Nos.352, 357 and 358 of Amisthapur Village, Boothpur Mandal, Mahabubnagar District. It is stated that the petitioners presented the documents before the respondent herein for registration. Their grievance is that the respondent is refusing to receive the documents without furnishing any reasons. They seek directions to the respondent to receive the documents and admit them to registration. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondent. While the Registration Act and the Rules made thereunder prescribe the procedure for registration of documents, the Indian Stamp Act prescribes the stamp duty to be paid on the transaction. Further Section 22-A of the Registration Act prohibits the registration of transactions in relation to certain categories of lands. In case, the transaction, which is sought to be registered, is opposed to any provisions of law, the respondent has to make the same clear through a written order. Refusal even to receive a document amounts to abdication of duties. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to receive the documents that may be presented by the petitioners and process the same in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 27.01.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 793 of 2009 Date: 27.01.2009 JSU
