THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.27050 of 2011 ORDER: The action of the second respondent, in not registering the sale deed pertaining to the land admeasuring Ac.1.09 cents in D.No.372/1 of Ponugupadu Village, Phirangipuram, Narasaraopet, Guntur District, is under challenge in this Writ Petition. The petitioner seeks a consequential direction to the second respondent to receive, process and register the sale deed. Sri Syed Khader Mastan, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would submit that the petitioner was orally informed by the second respondent that the land in question was government land and, as such, it cannot be registered under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the Act’). Learned Counsel would submit that, in case a reasoned order is passed, the petitioner would then have an opportunity of availing the appellate remedy under the Act. I find considerable force in the aforesaid submission. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra and Rayalaseema Areas) would fairly state that, in case the document is presented, the second respondent would consider the same in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders even in case he is not inclined to register the document. In the light of the submissions made, the petitioner is permitted to present the document to the second respondent within one week from today. On such presentation, the second respondent shall consider the same, and take necessary action, in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks thereafter. Even in case the second respondent is of the view that the said document cannot be registered, he shall pass a reasoned order and communicate the same to the petitioner within the aforesaid period. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:28.09.2011 usd
