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

The case of the petitioner is that he purchased lands in Survey Nos.818/2 and 821/3B2 of Madakalavaripalli Village, Gopavaram Mandal, Y.S.R.District, for a valid consideration.

In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the fourth respondent to receive the document, if any, presented by the petitioner and take action in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act. If the fourth respondent cannot register the said document for any reason, he has to make an endorsement to that effect and pass an order in accordance with Section 71 of the Registration Act.

5.

The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, in this writ petition, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
