RAMANA Writ Petition No. 9257 of 2008 Order: The petitioners state that they purchased some landed property situated in Survey No.359 of Sattenapalli, Guntur District, under different registered sale deeds from their vendors, and it is their case that they executed Agreements of Sale, and when they presented the same for registration, the 1st respondent, namely the Sub-Registrar, Sattenapalli, Guntur District, is refusing to receive the same. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. When the matter is taken up for admission, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submits that the petitioners did not approach the 1st respondent. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, however, submitted that if the petitioners approach the 1st respondent, he would certainly receive the documents to be presented by the petitioners for registration. In view of the above stand taken by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent, namely the Sub-registrar, Sattenapalli, Guntur District, is directed to receive and process the documents to be presented by the petitioners for registration in respect of the lands situated in Survey No. 359 of Sattenapalli, Guntur District, and register the same, if they are otherwise in order. In the event, if there are any objections for registering the said documents, it is open for the 1st respondent to make an endorsement to that effect, record reasons and communicate the same to the petitioners. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 25.04.2008 Ksr/Nsr
