Salukuti Surender Reddy v. The State of Telangana

Telangana HC18 Feb 2022WP/1272/2022

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The High Court modified common order directions in multiple I.A.-s filed under Section 151 CPC. While affirming that the predecessor order stating government memos were invalid was an order in rem, the Court limited the modification to permit registration without these specific references rather than issuing general future directions.

What did the court decide?

The applications are allowed with the modification that the respondent Registrar is directed to register documents of sale, transfer, and gift without reference to specified Memos and Letters.
