TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE. S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No. 12061 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner purchased certain properties in revenue auction. He is stated to have paid the purchase price. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that in spite of having complied with his part of the transaction, no sale certificate is being issued. 2. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that the petitioner was directed to produce a blank stamp paper for issuing the sale certificate. Instead he has produced stamp paper with the document typed therein and the date of the document is shown as a date prior to the date of purchase of stamp paper and therefore the said stamp paper cannot be used for issuing the sale certificate. The petitioner undertakes to cure the defects. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: W.P.(c)No.12061/08 2 If the petitioner produces blank stamp paper/s for endorsing the sale certificate, the 1st respondent shall do whatever is necessary to issue the sale certificate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the stamp paper/s.
