B.Narendra Reddy s/o. B.YeIIa Reddy Vs The Joint Sub-Registrar

¶1

THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY

¶2

WRIT PETITION No.24646 of 2012

¶3

ORDER:

¶4

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue.

¶5

The petitioners state that they have presented sale deed for registration before the respondents in respect of Plot No.1 admeasuring 2 ¾ cents or 133 sq. yards situated in Sy.No.218 of Kallur Village and Mandal, Kurnool City. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are refusing to receive the documents, much less to admit them to registration. They seek appropriate directions in this regard.

¶6

The Registration Act, 1908 (for short ‘the 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. The refusal to receive the documents amounts to abdication of powers conferred under the Act, apart from arbitrary exercise of power.

¶7

Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to receive the documents presented by the petitioners. In case, the documents can be admitted to registration, they shall take necessary steps in that direction within four (4) weeks from the date of

¶8

receipt of a copy of this order. On the other hand, if the documents cannot be admitted to registration, the reasons therefore shall be communicated to the petitioners within the same time. There shall be no order as to costs.

¶9

In view of disposal of the writ petition, the miscellaneous petitions, if any, also stand disposed of.
