Petitioner claims to have purchased a plot admeasuring 120.11 sq. yards in Sy.No.657-2-E-3 of Koduru Village, Koduru Mandal, Y.S.R. District for consideration of Rs.3,54,000/-. It is stated that the sale deed was executed by one Sri Katta Padmayya, who is the registered GPA holder vide document No.934 of 2009 dated 13.05.2009 in the office of the third respondent. When the petitioner submitted the document along with a representation to receive the document and register the sale deed on 19.05.2010, it appears that the third respondent has made an endorsement under the impugned order to the effect that one Mr. Murali Mohan, Advocate sent notice stating that his clients have filed O.P.No.34 of 2004, which is pending on the file of the Additional District Judge, Tirupati regarding the land admeasuring Ac.0.19 cents in Sy.No.657/2-E-3 and in view of that unless the petitioner obtains permission from the said Court the document cannot be accepted for registration. 4. When the matter came up for admission on 23.08.2010 and 30.08.2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader to get instructions. 5. When the matter is taken up, on instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the impugned endorsement is made in view of the pendency of O.P.No.34 of 2004 filed by one Tirupati West Parish and two others. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the petitioner has produced a copy of the order dated 24.03.2009 passed in O.P.No.34 of 2004 by the learned V Additional District Judge, Tirupati, by which the said OP was dismissed on the representation made by the parties that the matter was settled out of Court. 6. As much as the impugned endorsement is passed only with reference to the pending proceedings in O.P.No.34 of 2004 and in view of the disposal of the said OP by order dated 24.03.2009, the impugned endorsement dated 19.05.2010 is quashed with a direction to the third respondent to accept the said document and consider for registration provided such document is in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Stamps and Registration Act, 1908. The petitioner shall place a copy of the order passed in O.P.No.34 of 2004 dated 24.03.2009 before the registering authority at the time of registration. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J August 31, 2010 Note: Furnish C.C. of the order by 03.09.2010 (B/o) DSK
