Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.K.V.SUBRAMANYA NARASU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased plot No.23 in Sy.No.240/4 situated at Srinivasapuram residential area, Tiruchanur Village, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, Chittoor District from one Smt.T.Aliyamma and when he presented the document for registration, the registering authority refused to register the same by order dated 20.10.2007 even though he produced a letter dated 25.9.2006 of the Administrative Oﬃcer of Sri Swamy Hathiraj Mutt addressed to the registering authority, the 1st respondent herein to the eﬀect that the Mutt has no objection for registration of the sale deed and that the said property does not belong to the Mutt. Aggrieved by the said refusal orders, the petitioner ﬁled an appeal being Appeal No.5/2007 before the 2nd respondent – District Registrar during October, 2007 and the same is still pending. Hence he ﬁled this writ petition seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to register the document presented by the petitioner in respect of the subject matter of property. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is being taken up for ﬁnal disposal at the admission stage itself. Since the petitioner has already preferred an appeal against the orders passed by the registering authority refusing to register the document produced by him, the learned Government Pleader submits that instead of this Court going into the merits of the matter, the appellate authority may be directed to dispose of the appeal itself, for which the learned counsel for the petitioner also agreed. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent-appellate authority to dispose of the appeal ﬁled by the petitioner in the month of October, 2007 against the orders of the registering authority, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
