Seetha Raghavamma , Seetha Samba Murthy D/O Late Lingala v. The Government Of Andhra Pradesh,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE S.V. BHATT WRIT PETITION No.31547 of 2014 Between:

Seetha Raghavamma PETITIONER AND

1. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Department of Revenue and Registrations, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad, and others.

RESPONDENTS

ORDER:

The petitioner prays for Mandamus declaring the action of the 5th respondent in not receiving and registering the documents for registration of the petitioner's lands in an extent of Ac.14-84 cents in R.S.Nos.359, 359/1 and 359/2 in Sy.No.621 situated in Kolamuru Village, Rajahmundry Rural Mandal, East Godavari Ditrict and insisting upon 'No Objection Certificate' from the 2nd respondent, as illegal and arbitrary. The payer presupposes that the petitioner, in fact, presented a document and the Sub-Registrar insisted upon producing 'No Objection Certificate' from Revenue Department.

From the material available on record, it does not appear that any effort to present a document, as claimed by the petitioner, can be inferred. I do not see that in fact, the petitioner presented a document and that the Sub-Registrar insisted upon production of 'No Objection Certificate'. On the ground that there is no cause of action as on date, the writ petition is dismissed. The dismissal of writ petition shall not be treated as this Court expressing any view on the right of the petitioner to present a document under the Registration Act, 1908 as and when the document is presented. It is for the 5th respondent-Sub-Registrar to consider the document within the four-corners of law including the objections under Section 22-A of the Act and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

With the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ________________ S.V. BHATT, J.
