THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.12365 of 2007 Dated 21-06-2007 Between: Bogadi Sanyuasi Rao and others …Petitioners And The Sub-Registrar, Sabbavaram, Visakhapatnam …Respondent THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.12365 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners state that they presented a document, executed on 21-02-2007, for registration before the respondent herein. It is stated that the document was given a pending registration number, and the respondent has not released it so far on the ground that the petitioners have not produced the clearance certificate from the Mandal Revenue Officer. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue obtained instructions at the stage of admission, and submits that though the subject-matter of the document is private patta land, the respondent has only sought clarification from the revenue authorities, and not as a step under the Registration Act and the Rules made thereunder. From the material placed before this Court, it is evident that the subject-matter of the document is a private patta land. For such lands, even the newly introduced Section 22-A of the Registration Act does not apply. Learned Government Pleader had categorically stated that the information sought for, by the respondent is not relatable to any statutory provisions. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to process the document presented by the petitioners, strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act and Stamp Act, and release the same to the petitioners within one week, on being satisfied about the compliance with the relevant provisions. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.21-06-2007 KO
