Outcome

¶34

Issue for consideration

Whether the action of the respondents in mentioning/retaining in the Statement of Encumbrance Certificate a NOTE that the sale transaction registered as Doc.No.3945 of 2005 dated 07.04.2005 (SRO, Sangareddy) stands cancelled through Proceeding No. OS No.116 of 2011 (Special Judge, SC/ST (POA) Act cases, cum Addl. District Sessions Judge, Medak at Sangareddy, dated 14.06.2012) is arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 300-A of the Constitution of India.

¶21

Ratio / Principle

Since learned counsel for the petitioner produced the current Statement of Encumbrance on Property (Application No.213464, Statement No.205171750) relating to the subject property, the cause in the writ petition does not survive and no further orders are required to be passed; the writ petition is accordingly closed with no order as to costs, and pending miscellaneous petitions stand closed.

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Writ Petition (Telangana HC, K. Sarath, J., 07-10-2025): Kedia Overseas Ltd. sought a mandamus against Stamps & Registration authorities for retaining in the Statement of Encumbrance Certificate a NOTE that its sale document (Doc.No.3945 of 2005 dated 07.04.2005, SRO Sangareddy) stood cancelled through Proceeding No. OS No.116 of 2011 of the Special Judge (SC/ST (POA) Act cases) cum Addl. District Sessions Judge, Medak at Sangareddy, dated 14.06.2012, alleging violation of Articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 300-A. An interim application under S.151 CPC sought removal of the note. At hearing, counsel produced the current encumbrance statement (Application No.213464, Statement No.205171750); the Court recorded that the cause did not survive, closed the writ petition with no order as to costs, and closed pending miscellaneous applications. The challenge was not adjudicated on merits; the decision carries no precedential value on the validity of cancellation notes in encumbrance certificates.
