HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.10079 of 2011 Date: April 27, 2011 Between: 1. P. China Satyanarayana & 5 others. … Petitioners and 1. The Government of A.P., rep. by its Secretary, Revenue Department, Hyderabad & 3 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.10079 of 2011 O R D E R: The petitioners are aggrieved by the action of the Sub- Registrar, Sarpavaram, Kakinada, East Godavari District, 4th respondent, in refusing to register their documents in respect of the plots situated in Survey Nos.6/3F, 78/2, 6/11A, 6/7, 6/7, 6/3F, 78/2, 6/11A and 78/2 of Madhavapatnam village, Kakinada Rural, Samalkota Mandal, East Godavari District. 2. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submits that the 4th respondent by his communication dated 23.4.2011 stated that under the Government Memo dated 16.12.2008 he was asked to stop registration of the plots in the subject survey numbers of Madhavapatnam village. 3. It is relevant to note that this very ground of refusal was considered by this court in W.P. No.31963 of 2010. A copy of the order dated 08.02.2011 passed by this Court in the said writ petition is placed on record and reflects that this Court, being of the opinion that the grounds mentioned in the Memo dated 16.12.2008 did not fall within the purview of Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908, allowed the writ petition and directed the Registration Authority to register the documents presented by the petitioners therein subject to fulfilment of other legal formalities. 4. In that view of the matter, the refusal by the 4th respondent to receive and register the documents presented by the petitioners herein in respect of their plots in the subject survey numbers of Madhavapatnam village, basing on the very same Memo dated 16.12.2008 cannot be countenanced. There shall accordingly be a direction to the 4th respondent to receive and register the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of their plots in the subject survey numbers of Madhavapatnam village, subject to fulfilment of all other legal formalities. This order, however, would not preclude the authorities from initiating necessary action against the unauthorized layouts, if any, in the subject survey numbers of Madhavapatnam village, in accordance with law. 5. The writ petition is allowed. No order as to costs. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: April 27, 2011. Note: Issue C.C. in three days. //B.O.// BSB
