It is alleged that the document is said to have been assigned pending registration No.207/2007. The grievance of the petitioner is that the document has not been released, so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue.

In case, the document cannot be admitted to registration, for any reasons, that can be traceable to Section 22-A of the Registration Act, as amended through Act 19 of 2007, or Section 5 of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977, the same need to be communicated to the petitioner forthwith, so that she can work out her remedies. For the foregoing reasons, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the second respondent to release the document submitted by the vendor of the petitioner or communicate the reasons for not registering the document, within a period of ten (10) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 24.08.2007 JSU
