RAMACHANDRA MENON J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P (C) No. 14588 of 2011 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated, this the 31st May , 2011 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the refusal on the part of the first respondent in registering the concerned sale deed pursuant to Ext. P1 agreement, referring to fair value to be notified by the concerned authorities. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, the proceedings for fixation of the fair value have been completed, pursuant to the enquiry made by the concerned Tahasildar and steps taken by the concerned RDO, as borne by Exts. P4 and P5, whereby the fair value is fixed as Rs. 3,70,500/- per Are, which however is still to be notified in the official gazette. The case of the petitioner is that the publication of the same in the official gazette will take some time and the petitioner is badly in need of the registration and that he is ready to satisfy the stamp value in accordance with Exts. P4 and P5. The petitioner has preferred Ext. P6 representation before first respondent to cause the sale deed to be registered reckoning the fair value as contained in Exts. P4 and P5, subject to the notification in the official gazette. W.P. (C) No. 14588 of 2011 : 2 : 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances, there will be a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass final orders on Ext. P6 in accordance with law, with reference to Exts. P4 and P5 and take all necessary steps with regard to the grievance projected by the petitioner. The proceedings as above shall be finalized as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is made clear that, this shall be subject to the notification to be effected in the gazette. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for further steps. The Writ Petition is disposed of. P. R.
