O R D E R

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondent.

2. The petitioner herein executed a settlement deed in favour of his son on 29.05.2014. Though the document was presented for registration, it was not accepted perhaps on the ground that the certificate of V.A.O. shows that the land is Gramanatham one. Seeking direction to the respondents to register the document the present Writ Petition is filed.

2. The law is quite settled that the gramanatham is not a Government Poramboke land. The Certificate issued by the V.A.O shows that house has been constructed over the said land. What the petitioner has conveyed is a settlement by him to his son. The respondent cannot delve much into the title as a mere registration will not give such status.

3. In view of the same, this Writ Petition is allowed and the respondent is directed to receive and register the document to be produced by the petitioner subject to the payment of requisite stamp duty. No costs.
