The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.27830 of 2009 Date: 15-09-2010 Between: Boda Thirupathi ..... Petitioner AND The District Collector, Warangal District, Warangal and 2 others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.V.J.Rakesh Babu Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following: Order: At the interlocutory stage, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned Counsel for the parties. The petitioner claims to be the owner and possessor of land admeasuring 200 square yards in plot No.29 part out of Survey No.228 situated at Hanamkonda Village and Mandal, Warangal District. He traces his title to a registered document bearing No.11280/2006, dated 29-11-2006, executed in his favour by one Basani Pratap Reddy through his GPA holder Salibindla Santosh Reddy. It is the pleaded case of the petitioner that he has executed a sale deed in respect of the above-mentioned land in favour of third parties and that respondent No.2 refused to register the same without assigning any reasons therefor. Hence, the present Writ Petition. As rightly contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner, it is incumbent upon the registering authority to examine any document, if presented for registration in the light of the provisions of Sections 31 to 36 of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the Act’) and take appropriate decision. If the registering authority feels that the document so presented cannot be registered, he shall pass an order disclosing the reasons therefor under Section 71 of the Act and if the party feels aggrieved by such a decision, he can avail the remedy of appeal under Section 72 of the Act and further remedy of civil suit under Section 77 of the Act. For the aforementioned reasons, the Writ Petition is disposed with the direction to respondent No.2 to receive the document that may be presented by the petitioner and if he is satisfied that the said document deserves to be registered, he shall register the same on the petitioner complying with all legal formalities. Conversely, if respondent No.2 feels that there are reasons to refuse to register the same, he shall pass appropriate order under Section 71 of the Act and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, if the petitioner feels aggrieved by such an order, he is at liberty to avail the remedies referred to above. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.36245 of 2009, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 15th September, 2010 lur
