Mohammed Mujahid Hussain Qureshi v. State Of Telangana

The Hon'ble Sri Justice A.Rajasheker Reddy Writ Petition No.2560 of 2020 Order:

The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the respondents in refusing to receive, register and release the document presented by him with respect to his land admeasuring Ac.0-05.05 guntas in Survey No.725/34, situated in Shamshabad Village and Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, on the ground of issuance of the notification dated 26-09-2013, by respondent No.2- District Collector, Ranga Reddy District. At the hearing, both the learned counsel for the parties agreed that the issue raised in this writ petition is similar to the one raised in W.P.No. 19069 of 2014, which was disposed of by this Court on 25-08-2014. Following the said decision, several other writ petitions were disposed of. In view of the same, following the earlier decision in W.P. No. 19069 of 2014, dated 25-08-2014, and for the very same reasons as mentioned therein, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the registering authority to receive and process the subject document without reference to the District Gazette notification dated 26.09.2013, subject to compliance of the

ARR, J W.P.No.2519 of 2020 Dt: 07-02-2020 provisions of the Indian Registration Act, 1908, and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. It is also open to the registering authority to refuse to register/receive the document presented before him, if he has any other objection, by duly assigning reasons in support of such decision and communicate the said decision to the petitioner. It is made clear that mere registration of the document does not confer title to the property. It is also made clear that this order does not preclude the Government/District Collector from taking appropriate steps as warranted by law and to assert its title. No order as to costs. As a sequel, Miscellaneous Petitions, pending if any, stand disposed of as infructuous.
