IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 8754 of 2009. Date of Decision: 29th May, 2009. Saraswati Agro Chemical [India] Pvt. Ltd. Petitioner through Mr. Aman Kashyap, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Mr. Palwinder Singh, Sr. DAG, Punjab. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL) The petitioner seeks a direction to the revenue authorities including Tehsildar, Kharar to enter mutation regarding the equitable mortgage created in favour of the State Bank of India in relation to the properties owned by the petitioner Company. Notice of motion. Mr. Palwinder Singh, Sr. DAG, Punjab, accepts notice. Keeping in view the nature of relief claimed in the writ petition and the order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek counter-affidavit from the respondents. The petitioner's grievance is that despite a communication dated 19.5.2009 sent by the State Bank of India to the Tehsildar, Kharar to enter mutation regarding the equitable mortgage in respect of five properties which fall within the revenue- estate of Tehsil Kharar, the Tehsildar has refused to make the necessary entries and is insisting upon the deposit of 2% stamp duty as well as 1% registration charges. The petitioner, on the other hand, submits that since the mutation pertains to an equitable mortgage created by deposit of the original title deeds, the stamp duty or registration charges can not be levied. In this regard, the petitioner relies upon a Division Bench judgment of this Court in Narvir Singh & Anr. V State of Haryana & Ors., 2007[2] ISJ, 266. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the nature of the relief sought in the writ petition, the Tehsildar, Kharar is directed to take cognizance of the communication dated 19.5.2009 received from the State Bank of India and if so required, to obtain written consent of the petitioner also and thereafter take further action in the matter in terms of the decision of this Court in Narvir Singh's [supra]. Let the needful be done within two weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Disposed of. Dasti. May 29, 2009. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
