Petitioners 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.7670 OF 2019 ORDER:

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

Petitioners claim that sale deed, dated 12.11.2018, was presented 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 petitioners, 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 petitioners, 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 petitioners to work out their remedies as available in law. It is needless to observe that since the document was presented before

the Joint Sub-Registrar long ago, he is directed to process the said document and communicate the decision to the petitioners 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.
