The District Registrar, Stamp & Registration, Near GG Hospital, Kurnool, Kurnool District, and another. Counsel For The Petitioner: Sri Anantharam Samudrala Counsel for the Respondents: G.P. for Revenue The Court made the following order: ORDER: The petitioner filed this writ petition seeking a direction by way of Mandamus declaring the action of the second respondent in not releasing the sale deed (document No.14/2007 dt.26.02.2007) and other deeds presented by him for registration in respect of the land in Sy.No.1939/3 to an extent of 34 cents, situated at Nandyal village and town, Kurnool District, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to direct the second respondent to release the sale deed and other deeds presented by him for registration. It is the case of the petitioner that he had purchased the land an extent of 34 cents in S.No.1939/3 situated at Nandyal village and town, Kurnool District vide sale deed bearing document No.14/2007 from its original owner Mr. Abdul Gaffur and his daughters and sons on 26.02.2007. According to the petitioner originally the said property belongs to one Smt. Mahaboob Bee @ Bebi Mohammediay. She executed a registered gift deed on 14.01.1958 in favour of Smt. Khaji Unnisa @ Bee John Mohammedi W/o. Abdul Gaffur. After the death of his wife, Abdul Gaffur entered into the present sale deed on 26.02.2007 agreeing to sell the property for a valuable consideration for his domestic needs. Though the said property is situated at Nandyal town due to old age of Abdul Gafur, the petitioner after paying the sale consideration, presented the said sale deed in the office of the second respondent at Kurnool Town for registration. Since the second respondent neither released and registered the document nor furnished any reasons as required under the Indian Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the Act’), the petitioner filed the present writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the first respondent to consider Document No.14/2007 presented by the petitioner for registration and release the same subject to the stamp duty under the Act. If for any reason, the document is not registerable, the second respondent shall furnish written reasons as per Section 71 of the Act. This exercise shall be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ (C.V. RAMULU, J.) 26th August, 2009 Js.
