THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2974 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim to have purchased plots in Survey Nos.24/P, 25/P and 26/P of Datti Village, Kothavalasa Mandal, Vizianagaram District and presented the documents for registration before the Sub-Registrar, Kothavalasa, Vizianagaram District, the first respondent herein. Their grievance is that on the basis of a communication, dated 21.10.2008, from the Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority, the third respondent herein, the first respondent is refusing to receive and process the documents. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. A perusal of the communication, dated 21.10.2008, from the Office of the third respondent discloses that a request was made to the first respondent not to register the plots relating to L.P.No.34 of 2008. The Registration Act and the Rules made thereunder do not confer any power on the authorities like the third respondent to meddle with the process of the registration. It is only in respect of the lands covered by Section 22-A of the Registration Act that registration can be denied or refused. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to receive the documents presented by the petitioners and process them without reference to the communication, dated 21.10.2008, from the third respondent and complete the exercise within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:18.02.2009 kdl
