M.Surendra Varma v. State Of Telangana,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAMALINGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION No.42923 OF 2017 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents.

The petitioners state that the vendor of the petitioners is the lawful owner and possessor of the land under plot Nos.92 and 617, admeasuring 778 square yards, in Survey No.44/1 situated at Miyapur Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The petitioners wanted to purchase the said land and accordingly drafted the Agreement of Sale-cum-General Power of Attorney, on 11.12.2017. They presented the said document before the third respondent and when the third respondent refused to receive the said document without assigning any reason, the present writ petition is filed. It is needless to observe that when a properly drafted document is presented for registration complying with all formalities, the third respondent has no alternative except to receive the said document and he cannot refuse to receive the document.

In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to receive the document, if any, presented by the petitioners and take action in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act. If the third 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.

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.
