Clarification required whether Sy.No.44/14 (old No.44) of B.K. Enclave, the survey number shown in the Gift Settlement Deed P.No.851/2025, is distinct from Sy.No.44 situated at Maktha Mahabubpet village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. +1 more

Court's answer

It was observed, while dictating the detailed order, that further clarification was required because Sy.No.44/14 (old No.44) of B.K. Enclave is not the same as Sy.No.44 at Maktha Mahabubpet village; on that account the matter had been listed under the caption 'For Being Mentioned'.

Telangana High Court (K. Sarath, J.), 09.01.2026 — Writ Petition No.40601 of 2025 (Smt. Balla Krishnaveni v. State of Telangana and four other respondents; Stamps and Registration). The 88-year-old petitioner sought a mandamus under Article 226 to receive, register and release Gift Settlement Deed P.No.851/2025 over a house of 828 sft on Plot No.B-II/35, 230 sq. yards, Sy.No.44/14 (old No.44), B.K. Enclave, Maktha Mahaboobpet village, Serilingampally Mandal, and challenged Joint Sub-Registrar-1's Refusal Order No.542 of 2025 (19.12.2025) and the District Collector's Letter No.E1/3387/2024 (04.11.2025) connected with title per the judgment in WA.No.1499 of 2018. The writ had been orally disposed of on 05.01.2026 on a covered order; during dictation a survey-number discrepancy (Sy.No.44/14 vis-a-vis Sy.No.44, Maktha Mahabubpet) was noticed and the matter listed 'For Being Mentioned'. On mention, the Assistant Government Pleader for Stamps and Registration reported that the respondents filed SLP (C) Diary No.32368/2025 in the Supreme Court against the order in W.A.No.1499 of 2018 dated 25.11.2024, on which status quo was granted on 27.10.2025, and sought recall. The High Court recalled its oral order of 05.01.2026, restored the matter to file, and posted it after eight weeks to 13.03.2026. The merits of the refusal and the mandamus prayer remain undecided; no substantive relief is operative at this stage.
