THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.162 OF 2010 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the order, dated 29.10.2009, in O.S.No.48 of 2004, on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Karimnagar, whereunder and whereby, the document, dated 25.03.1996, was sent to the District Registrar for impounding the document by collecting the stamp duty and penalty, treating the document as sale deed. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The grievance of the petitioner/plaintiff is that at the time of filing of the suit, necessary stamp duty and penalty was paid by him on impounding the document, dated 25.03.1996, by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar, but at the time of marking the said document, the respondents/defendants raised objection on the ground of insufficiency of the stamp duty, and thereupon, the impugned order was passed by the trial Court to send the document to the District Registrar for ascertaining the correct amount of stamp duty and penalty. 4. It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the amount, which was already collected towards stamp duty and penalty, has to be adjusted from the amount that may be ascertained by the District Registrar now. 5. That appears to be correct approach in view of the fact that the petitioner cannot be directed to pay the stamp duty and penalty twice. Hence, the District Registrar can determine the stamp duty and penalty, with reference to the nature of the document in accordance with law. The stamp duty and penalty that was paid by the petitioner earlier has to be deducted from the amount towards stamp duty that may be ascertained by the District Registrar now. 6. The Civil Revision Petition is disposed of with the above observation. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ K.C.
