THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No. 12849 of 2014 ORDER :
In this writ petition the grievance of the petitioners is with regard to the action of the respondents in refusing to receive and register the documents presented by the petitioners in respect of land to an extent of Ac.2.45 in Survey No. 522-2, Raghunathapuram village, Tekkali mandal, Srikakulam district as illegal. However, when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for petitioners submitted that the relief sought in the writ petition is confined only to the extent of insistence by the registering authorities on production of ‘No Objection Certificates’ (NOCs) from the Revenue Authorities as a condition precedent for receiving and registering the documents presented by them for registration in connection with immovable properties.
2. Learned counsel for petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue submit that the subject matter to the extent of No Objection Certificate is squarely covered by the decision of Division Bench in W.A.No.1653 of 2013. With the consent of both counsel, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. Learned counsel for petitioners also submits that the land in issue is not assigned to Ex-Servicemen.
3. Considering the submissions of both the learned counsel, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Sub-Registrar, Tekkali, Srikakulam district (second respondent) to receive and process the documents presented by the petitioners without insisting upon such NOC and in the event the documents presented fulfil the requirements of the Registration Act, 1908, and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, he shall register and release the documents in accordance with the due procedure. However, if the second respondent is of the opinion that the documents presented for registration warrants denial, he shall pass orders in writing indicating the reasons for such refusal and communicate the same to the party in accordance with Section 71 of the Registration Act, 1908. There shall be no order as to costs.
Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed.
