As there was no proper yield and in order to meet his domestic necessities, the petitioner intended to sell the land and approached respondent No.1 to know the particulars of the market value and the stamp duty etc. The same was refused and it was stated that the said land cannot be registered. Therefore, the petitioner filed the instant Writ Petition seeking a direction to the respondents to receive the documents and register the same. The petitioner also refers to the reasons for non- registration, but it is not necessary to go into these in this order. The Counsel for the petitioner and the Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue made the submissions. When a document is presented, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to examine the same with reference to Sections 31 to 36 of the Registration Act, 1908 (the Act) and/or Rules 26 and 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. This aspect of the matter was considered by my learned brother Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy in W.P.No.15199 of 2004, dated 01.09.2004. Following the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing respondent No.1 or any other Registering Officer to consider the documents presented by the petitioner for registration. Be it noted, if for any reason, the documents presented are not registered, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to record and furnish reasons under Section 71 of the Act. Even thereafter, if the petitioner has any grievance, he may file appeal before the appellate authority under Section 72 of the Act. Thereafter, if any adverse order is passed by the appellate authority, the petitioner can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 06.04.2010 vs
