THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.17447 OF 2011 ORDER: Entertaining Writ Petition No.5296 of 2011, a detailed order has been passed by this Court on 04-03-2011 to the following effect:- “The reason for not entertaining the documents is stated to be the order of attachment passed in certain civil proceedings pertaining to the subject land. Due to the same the registration authorities, relying upon Standing Order No.219, are refusing to entertain the petitioners’ documents for registration. Standing Order No.219 pertains to cases where there is an order from the High Court or any other civil Court restraining any person from alienating a property and if such order is brought to the notice of the Registration Authorities, they are estopped from going ahead with the registration. The import of this Standing Order is reflected in the Circular Memo dated 10-03-2010 of the Commissioner and Inspection General of Registration and Stamps, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. It is however pertinent to note that in the present case, there is admittedly no order restraining the alienation, or registration of any document, in respect of the subject land. Mere attachment of the property would not have the effect of interdicting the registration of documents in respect of such land. The sale transaction covered by the document so registered would be subject to the charge created under the attachment order, but would not be rendered illegal. That being so, there shall be a direction to the Sub-Registrar, Renigunta, Chittoor District, to entertain the petitioners’ documents in respect of Plot Nos.12, 40, 69, 70, 71 and 141 in Sy.No.212/14, Damineedu Residential Area, Tiruchanur Gram Panchayat, Tiruchanur, Tirupati Mandal, Chittoor District, and process and register the same in accordance with law.” In view of this order, the Sub-Registrar shall not decline to entertain registration of the sale transactions undertaken by the petitioners, particularly when the petitioners herein propose to indemnify their predecessors, in the event the decree holder in the civil suit brings to sale the land, which is subject matter of attachment order passed by the civil Court. Hence, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage, after hearing the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, directing the respondent-Sub Registrar to entertain the transaction of sale for the purpose of registering the document. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J mrk 23rd June 2011
