THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY
WRIT PETITION No : 2485 of 2009
ORDER:
The petitioner states that she has presented a conveyance deed, in respect of a house bearing No.8/211, admeasuring 177 square yards in Survey No.929 of Madakalavaripally Village, Gopavaram Mandal, Kadapa District, before the 2nd respondent herein for registration. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent is postponing the registration of the document, without any reason. She seeks appropriate directions in this regard.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue.
The Registration Act and the Rules made thereunder prescribe the procedure for admitting the documents to registration. In case, a document is otherwise found to be in order, and duly stamped, it has to be admitted to registration. On the other hand, if the subject matter of a document is covered by any land mentioned under Section 22-A of the Act, or it cannot be registered for any reasons, the registering authority has to communicate the same.
Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that in case, the document can be admitted to registration, the 2nd respondent shall take necessary steps in that direction within four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On the other hand, if the document cannot be admitted to registration, the reasons therefor shall be communicated to the petitioner within the same time. There shall be no order as to costs.
