THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 4586 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner presented a sale deed on 15.03.2005 before the Sub-Registrar, Bheemunipatnam, 1st respondent herein, for registration. The document was kept pending and was assigned Pending No.30 of 2005. The petitioner complains that the 1st respondent has not registered the document so far and seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. On noticing some hurdle in the process of admitting document presented by the petitioner to registration, the 1st respondent kept it pending and assigned pending number. Whatever may have been the justification in keeping the document pending, the 1st respondent ought to have taken necessary steps within a short time thereafter. In case, there existed any reasons for not registering the document, the same ought to have been communicated to the petitioner, so that he can work out his remedies in accordance with law. There cannot be any justification in keeping the document pending indefinitely. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall process the document presented by the petitioner and assigned Pending No.30 of 2005 and conclude the same within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Within this time, either the document shall be admitted to registration after ensuring the compliance with the relevant provisions of law, or the reasons for not registering the same shall be communicated to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 05.03.2009 Note: Issue C.C. tomorrow. (B/o) JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 4586 of 2009 Date: 05.03.2009 JSU
