Petitioner AND Office of the Sub-Registrar, Nallapadu, Guntur District & another. .....Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos.13859 & 10484 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: These two writ petitions raised common issues of law and facts. Hence, they are taken up for hearing and disposal together. The short and simple grievance of the petitioners in these two writ petitions is that though they have purchased the properties under registered sale deeds dated 06.04.2010, respondent No.1 has not intimated respondent No.2 about the said registrations. The petitioners pleaded that unless respondent No.1 acts in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(2) of the A.P. Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971 (for short, “the Act”) by intimating such registration, respondent No.2 would not entertain their applications for amendment of entries in the record of rights. No counter affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue fairly submitted that as a statutory obligation is cast on respondent No.1 for giving intimation of registration of the documents to respondent No.2, the petitioners are entitled to the relief claimed in these writ petitions. Having regard to the mandatory provisions of Section 4(2) of the Act and the submission made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader based thereon, the writ petitions are allowed by directing respondent No.1 to intimate the factum of registration of the sale deeds to respondent No.2. The petitioners are permitted to make appropriate applications before respondent No.2 for amendment of entries in the record of rights. If such applications are made, respondent No.2 is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders under Section 5(1) of the Act. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petitions in the manner indicated above, WPMP.Nos.17447 and 21009 of 2010 in W.P.No.13859 of 2010 and WPMP.Nos.13440 and 21027 of 2010 in W.P.No.10484 of 2010 are disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 28.09.2010 ES
