THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20785 OF 2006 DATED 01st NOVEMBER, 2006 BETWEEN K.V.Ranga Rao and another … Petitioners and The Mandal Revenue Officer, Nuzvid Mandal, Krishna District and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20785 OF 2006 ORDER: The first petitioner is the owner of land admeasuring Acs.15.00 in R.S.No.1/1A1 situated at Narsupet village, Nuzvid Mandal of Krishna District, and the second petitioner is owner of land admeasuring Acs.10.00 situated in the same village. They also obtained necessary Pattadar Pass Books from the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) and the names are also mutated in the revenue records. Both the petitioners entered into an agreement of sale with K.Saleem and received one- fourth of sale consideration. They approached the second respondent requiring necessary clarification regarding stamp duty and registration charges with a view to deposit the same in the Bank. It appears the second respondent did not respond to the request in respect of the petitioners’ representation on 23.08.2006. They came to know that the first respondent addressed a letter to the second respondent on 06.04.2005 to inform about any registrations in respect of the land in survey No.1/1A1 of Narsupet village and for that reason the second respondent, did not give necessary particulars of stamp duty. Aggrieved by the same, petitioners filed present writ petitions seeking a direction to second respondent to take the documents and register them in accordance with law. After getting instructions, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-A) submits that the land admeasuring Acs.6.78 in R.S.No.169/P and land admeasuring Acs.14.54 cents in R.S.No.216/P of Nuzvid, are the subject matter of C.C.No.1460/1453/NZD/75 under the provisions of A.P.Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973 and therefore, while advising the second respondent not to entertain registrations in respect of the said lands, the MRO also requested the second respondent to keep informed about any registrations in survey No.1/1A1 of Narsupet village. He also submits that now that the connected Civil Revision Petition and writ petition are already disposed of by this Court, the second respondent may consider the documents submitted by the petitioners for registration. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to approach the second respondent and obtain value of the stamp duty and registration charges payable on the documents they desire to execute in favour of the purchaser. As and when the petitioners approach the second respondent with copy of the order, necessary action may be taken in accordance with the provisions of Registration Act, 1908. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 01.11.2006. pln
