Since the Memo challenged in all these writ petitions is one and same, they are taken up together, heard and being disposed of by this common order.

These Writ Petitions, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, are filed by the respective petitioners seeking to declare Memo No.31617/Regn.II/A1/2012-4 dated 31.08.2015 issued by respondent No.1 as illegal and arbitrary.

Heard learned counsel for respective petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Stamps & Registration for respondents. With their consent, the Writ Petitions are disposed of at the stage of admission itself.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the subject matter of the writ petitions is squarely covered by W.P.No.9655 of 2016, which was disposed of by this Court on 02.12.2016. Hence, they pray for disposal of these writ petitions on the same lines as that of W.P.No.9655 of 2016. The same is not opposed by the learned Government Pleader for Stamps & Registration. In that view of the matter, following the order dated 02.12.2016 passed in W.P.No.9655 of 2016, these Writ Petitions are allowed setting aside the Memo No.31617/Regn.II/A1/2012-4, dated 31.08.2015 issued by the 1st respondent.

Miscellaneous petitions pending in these writ petitions, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ C. PRAVEEN KUMAR, J Date: 22.12.2016 sur
