When the petitioners approached the 3rd respondent and presented documents for registration of their lands, he is alleged to have refused to accept the documents for registration. Therefore, the present writ petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus directing the 3rd respondent to receive and register the documents presented by the petitioners. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It is well settled law that when a document is presented for registration, it is obligatory on the part of the registering authorities to entertain such document and process the same for registration as per the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 and the Rules made thereunder. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent-Sub-Registrar to entertain and process the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of the subject lands. However, it is made clear that such registration shall be subject to the compliance of the provisions of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 and the Rules made thereunder. Further, it is made clear that if there are any objections for registration, it is open for the authorities to record reasons for such refusal and communicate the same to the petitioners. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J 18.03.2011 Note: Furnish copy in a week B/o bcj
