ORDER:

Petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the fourth respondent in declining to receive and process the sale deed with respect to land admeasuring 75.55 sq. yards in Sy.No.136-1A 1 B2 of Anantapur Municipal Corporation Limits, Anantapur District.

2. Petitioner states that the aforesaid land was purchased by her on 01.08.2000 under registered sale deed bearing document No.6017/2000 and has been in possession and enjoyment of the said land.

3. In view of the above, there is no justification for the fourth respondent in refusing to receive and process the document presented by the petitioner with respect to the land claimed by her. The fourth respondent is, therefore, directed to receive and process the document in accordance with the Registration Act, 1908 and Indian Stamp Act, 1899 and if the document is in conformity with the provisions of the aforesaid enactments, thereafter, register and release the document in accordance with the due procedure. It is also made clear that in the event of registering authority not being satisfied with the compliance under the Registration Act or the Stamp Act, appropriate refusal endorsement together with reasons shall be recorded and communicated to the petitioner in terms of Section 71 of the Registration Act. The writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ VILAS V.
