Petitioner and Govt. of A.P., Rep., by its Principal Secretary, Revenue, Secretariat, Hyderabad and another. .. Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5875 OF 2007 ORDER: Petitioner presented an agreement of sale coupled with General Power of Attorney, executed on 24.09.2004, before the second respondent for registration. Through the said document, one Kumari Padmalaxman intended to sell the property in favour of the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that the second respondent kept the document pending and did not release the same, even though two years have elapsed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. On the basis of the instructions received by her, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submits that the registration of the document was withheld, on account of the fact that the land regularization certificate was not filed. It is stated that the land belongs to Sri Varaha Laxmi Narasimha Swamy Devastanam, Simhachalam, and that a detailed exercise has been undertaken to deal with the lands, at various levels. Even in the document that was presented for registration, there is a reference to land regularization certificate. It is not known as to whether the copy of the certificate was enclosed to the document. Be that as it may, if there exist any reasons, which enable the second respondent, to refuse registration, he is required to state the same, through an order or endorsement. Keeping the document pending, for nearly two years, cannot be sustained in law. For the foregoing reasons, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the second respondent to take necessary steps for registration of the document presented by the petitioner. In case, he is of the view that the document cannot be registered for any reasons, he shall communicate the same within two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 26.03.2007 JSU
