K.B.Sriram v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM WRIT PETITION No. 18938 OF 2019 O R D E R:

The petitioner contends that even though the documents are presented for registration in respect of plot No.

G-136, admeasuring square yards in Survey No.

329/10, Mahadevapuram Residential Project Phase-III, Gajularamaram Village, Quthbullapur Mandal, the registering authority is not even receiving the documents.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue.

It is submitted across the Bar that this Court dealing with identical issue in Writ Petitions No.13016 and 13045 of 2019, on 09.07.2019, passed the order to the following effect: " Following the said decision, several other Writ Petitions were disposed of. Therefore, following the earlier decision in W.P.No.4924 of 2019, dated 11.03.2019, these Writ Petitions are also disposed of directing the registering authority to receive the documents as and when they are presented and process the same without reference to the notification dated 25.09.2013 issued by the Collector, Malkajgiri Division, Quthubullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy. In the event the said documents are found to be fit for registration, the registering authority shall complete the due formalities in accordance with law and release the document.

However, if he still finds any ground to exercise power under Section 76 of the Act of 1908 and refuse registration, he shall pass a reasoned order and communicate the same to the petitioners. This exercise shall be completed expeditiously and in any event, not later than one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, be it from whatever source. It is also made clear that mere registration of these documents would not confer title upon the properties covered thereby, if it is otherwise wanting, and would not preclude the Government from taking appropriate steps as warranted by law, if it seeks to assert any right or title over the said properties."

In view of the submission of the learned counsel for the parties, let there be a similar order even in this case. The Writ Petition is accordingly, disposed of. No costs. The miscellaneous Applications, if any stand closed. ___________________________ CHALLA KODANDA RAM, J 30th August 2019 ksld
