THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.6042 of 2010 18.3.2010 Between: Shaik Rasool Bi, W/o.Shaik Anja Saheb …Petitioner and The Sub Registrar, Piduguralla and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.6042 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner purchased a house bearing No.10-133/1 situated at Piduguralla for a consideration of Rs.8,78,000/- from one Chillamcherla Hanumantha Rao. The same was presented to first respondent for registration. The document was received on 23.7.2009 and was kept pending. Petitioner’s vendor then filed W.P.No.22771 of 2009 seeking a direction to first respondent to entertain sale deed and complete registration. This Court directed to register the document in accordance with law and if for any reason it cannot be registered, first respondent was directed to pass appropriate orders under Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908 (the Act). Even thereafter first respondent did not take any action and hence the present writ petition is filed by the petitioner. The Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra Area) obtained instructions from first respondent. He submits that the document submitted by petitioner is kept pending as the schedule property therein is in a Court attachment in O.S.No.25 of 2002 and O.S.No.43 of 2003 on the file of the Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Gurajala. This is however disputed. When a document is presented, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to examine the same with reference to Sections 31 to 36 of the Act and/or Rules 26 to 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Rules under the Act. This aspect of the matter was considered by my learned brother Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy in W.P.No.15199 of 2004, dated 01.9.2004. Following the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing first respondent or any other Registering Officer to consider the document presented by the petitioner for registration. Be it noted, if for any reason, the document presented is not registered, it is incumbent on the part of the Registering Officer to record and furnish reasons under Section 71 of the Act. Even thereafter, if the petitioners have any grievance, they may file appeal before the appellate authority under Section 72 of the Act. Thereafter, if any adverse order is passed by the appellate authority, the petitioners can file a suit under Section 77 of the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) March 18, 2010. YS
