THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM C.R.P. No. 239 of 2011 Dated. 04–03-2011 Between: Parvathini Venkatarao …Petitioner Vs. Parimi Chiranjeevi & another. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM C.R.P.No. 239 of 2011 ORAL ORDER: This revision is fundamentally misconceived and is dismissed at the stage of admission. This revision filed under Article 227 of the Constitution is by the defendant aggrieved by the rejection of I.A.No. 835 of 2010 in O.S.No. 9 of 2007 on the file of learned Senior Civil Judge, Ramachandapuram, East Godavari District. I.A.No. 835 of 2010 was filed under Order XIII Rule 8 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short ‘the CPC’) for impounding Ex.A.10—Memorandum of deposit of title deeds dated 03- 04-1998 which was marked on behalf of the plaintiffs. I.A.No. 835 of 2010 was filed after the first witness for the defendant was examined and cross-examined. It was contended on behalf of the revision petitioner that Ex.A.10 – Memorandum of deposit of title deeds requires registration and has to be duly stamped. Article 7 of Schedule I-A of the Indian Stamps Act, 1899 (for short ‘the Act’) was amended with effect from 01-08-2005 requiring levy of stamp duty for a memorandum of deposit of title deed as well at 0.5% of the value of the instrument. As Ex.A.10 was executed on 03-04-1998, prior to the introduction of the levy by the amendment of Article 7 with effect from 01-08-2005. The Court below therefore rightly concluded that the document is not liable to be impounded for non-payment of stamp duty. The other contention on behalf of the revision petitioner that the stamp duty is liable under Article 7(2) of Schedule I-A of the Act was also negatived by the Court below on the ground that this provision relates to moveable properties and Ex.A.10 is with regard to immoveable property. For no apparent reason and urging no position of law is this revision petition filed and is therefore dismissed at the stage of admission as misconceived. No costs. __________________________ JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM Dated: 04-03-2011 Pvks/*
