THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.30322 of 2010 Date : 3-12-2010 Between : M/s.Sai Pratap Constructions Visakhapatnam and others .. Petitioners and State of Andhra Pradesh Represented by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioners : Sri Gudapati Venkateswar Rao Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.5 in not receiving the documents for registration in respect of lands comprised in Sy.Nos.54, 55, 56, 57, 58 and 59 of Dopparla village, Atchuthapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District and not passing orders on the petitioners’ representations made in June 2010 as arbitrary and illegal. I have heard Sri Gudapati Venkateswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. The grievance of the petitioners is that respondent No.5 has neither received nor registered the documents or passed any orders. Under Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908 (for short, "the Act") if respondent No.5 has reasons to refuse registration of a document, he is bound to pass orders and communicate the same to the party concerned. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.5 to receive the documents that may be presented by the petitioners for registration. If he does not find any objection under law for registration, he shall register the documents. Conversely, if he finds any legally sustainable objections under the provisions of the Act, he shall pass an order under Section 71 of the Act and communicate the same to the petitioners within a period of two weeks from the date of presentation of the documents by the petitioners. If the petitioners feel aggrieved by such communication, they are entitled to avail appropriate remedy in accordance with law. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP Nos.38632 & 38633/2010 are disposed of as infructuous. _________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY.,J Date: 3-12-2010 AM
