2013 issued by the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, as illegal, arbitrary, unjust, unconstitutional, violation of principles of natural justice and also contrary to the provisions of Registration Act, 1908 and consequently direct the respondents 2 and 3 to register and release the documents presented by the petitioner in respect of subject land without reference to the Notification dated 26.09.2013 issued by the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District., and to pass such other order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in circumstances of case."

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits in similar circumstances, this Court disposed of WP.No.1438 of 2020, dated 24-01-2020. The same is not disputed by learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue.

In view of the same, for the reasons alike in the aforesaid order, this writ petition is disposed of 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 provisions of the Indian Registration Act, 1908 and 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 document 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. No costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
