HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16851 of 2010 Dated: 20-07-2010 Between: K. Rajeswaraiah Achary & another. … Petitioners And The Sub-Registrar, Kurnool. … Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16851 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioners seek directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in not receiving the sale deed executed by one Sri Eluru Nadipi Subbaiah, resident of Gonepalli village, in favour of the petitioner, pertaining to the land admeasuring 169.4 sq. yards, situated in Sy.No.322/1A1A in Kalluru village of Kurnool District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that one Sri Eluru Nadipi Subbaiah is the absolute owner and possessor of the land covered by Sy.No.322/1A1A, admeasuring 169.4 sq. yards and the petitioners entered into an agreement to purchase the same, by an agreement, dated 24th of May 2010, and paid the entire sale consideration. It is stated that when the vendors of the petitioners have approached the office of respondents to register the said sale deed, respondents are not accepting the same for registration. It is the case of the petitioners that there is no reason or justification for not accepting the document for registration by the respondents. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the documents were not presented at all for the purpose of registration, as alleged by the petitioners. If there are any objections for registration of a document, it is open for the respondents to record reasons and refuse registration, but at the same time, the respondents cannot refuse to accept the document itself. In any event, there is also no proof of presentation of any document before the 2nd respondent and the learned Government Pleader also states that no documents are presented for registration. In view of the aforesaid reasons, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 2nd respondent to accept the document for registration and consider it for registration with regard to the land in question, covered by Sy.No.322/1A1A, if the documents are in accordance with the provisions of the Stamp Duty and Registration Act. It is also made clear that if there is any prohibition for registration of such lands by way of notification under Section 22-A of the Registration Act and/or if the same is mentioned in the prohibitory book maintained for assigned lands, it is for the respondents to record reasons and communicate the same to the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th July 2010 ajr
