Y.Chandra Sekhara Rao v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY W.P.NOs.2337, 3096, 3106, 3107, 3116 AND 3160 OF 2020 COMMON ORDER Aggrieved by the action of the 3rd respondent - Registering Authority, in refusing to register the respective documents presented by the petitioners in respect of subject properties, the present writ petitions have been filed. Learned counsel for the petitioners, would submit that the lis in the present writ petitions is squarely covered by the order passed by this court in W.P.No.19069 of 2014 dated 25.08.2014 and hence similar order may be passed. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue does not dispute the above submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners. In view of the same and for the reasons alike as recorded in W.P.No.19069 of 2014 dated 25.08.

2014, the present writ petitions are disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to receive and process the deeds of conveyance without reference to the District Gazette Notification dated 26.09.2013, subject to compliance of the provisions of the Indian Registration Act, 1908 and Indian Stamp Act 1899. It is also open to the 3rd respondent - registering authority, to refuse to register the deeds presented before him, if he has any other objection, by duly assigning the reasons in support of such decision and communicate the said decision to the petitioners. It is made clear that mere registration of deeds of conveyance does not confer title to the property. It is also made clear that this order does not preclude the Government / District Collector to take appropriate steps as warranted by law and to assert its title.

Interlocutory applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. No order as to costs.
