Petitioner Gaushala has presented sale deeds on 1.4.2006 and 28.4.2006 for registration by the Sub-Registrar, Muzaffarpur but the same is not being registered. In this connection correspondence has been made by the District Sub- Registrar, Muzaffarpur with the Secretary of the Gaushala vide memo no. 749 dated 25.2.2008, Annexure-8, perusal whereof 2 indicates that as and when final decision in the matter is taken by the Collector of the District who is the Registrar, the documents presented for registration shall be registered. Such letter was also issued more than two years back. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that on account of failure to register the two sale deeds the development work in the Gaushala is not taking place. 3. Petitioner Gaushala is entitled to possess lands and if the possession does not exceed the ceiling limits, in my opinion, Gaushala is also entitled to transfer the lands owned by it. Accordingly, I direct the Collector who is the Registrar to take appropriate decision in the matter and thereafter to either register the sale deeds already presented by the Gaushala or to communicate the reasons to the petitioner as to why the sale deeds are not being registered. Appropriate action by the Registrar be taken in the matter, as early as possible, in any case within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the Registrar/Collector of the District. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. Ibrar/- (V.N. Sinha, J)
