Smt K.Sabitha Rani W/o.K.Madhukar Reddy, Aged 48 yrs, R/o.H.No.1-96, Parsapur, Mahaboobnagar District.

.. Petitioner And The State of Telangana, rep., by its Secretary, Revenue (Stamps & Registration) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents The Court made the following:

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.7800 OF 2019 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2.

Petitioner claims that she presented the Gift deed on 01.04.2019 before the Joint Sub-Registrar, Ranga Reddy District. The Joint Sub-Registrar refused to process the said document and insisted for production of No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Urban Land Ceiling Authority.

3.

From the material on record, it appears that so far no decision is taken by the Joint Sub-Registrar with regard to processing of the document and the document is not returned to the petitioner, as contended. It is not known, at this stage, whether the Joint Sub-Registrar was insisting for production of NOC. Even before a decision, accepting or rejecting the request of the petitioner, the Court cannot go into the aspect of justification or otherwise of alleged insistence by the Sub-Registrar. The Sub-Registrar being the competent authority is entitled to process the deed of conveyance presented before him and is also entitled to take appropriate decision by assigning due reasons. Moreover, if document is returned, the aggrieved party has the remedy of appeal. Thus, at this stage and even before a decision is made, the Court is not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition. 4.

The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to work out her remedies as available in law. It is needless to observe that since the document was presented before

the Joint Sub-Registrar, he is directed to process the said document and communicate the decision to the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
