HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.4682 of 2014 ORDER:
The petitioner claims to be the owner of property to an extent of 213.33 square yards in Survey No.140/3,4,5, situated at Daminedu Village, Tiruchanur Grama Panchayat, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, Chittoor District. The petitioner submits that when a request was made to furnish the market value, the Sub-Registrar, Renugunta, Chittoor District (3rd respondent) informed the petitioner by his proceedings, dated 03.12.2013, that the land is classified as Government land and, therefore, no market value can be furnished.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the entire extent of land in Daminedu Village was treated as a Government land and to that extent proceedings were issued by the revenue authorities informing the Sub-Registrar not to entertain the documents concerning Daminedu Village. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Lok-Ayukta initially passed orders on 11.03.2008, but subsequently, the complaint was closed by an order, dated 20.06.2008. In spite of closing the complaint, no further steps are taken to recall the earlier ban imposed and prohibition is continuing. Concerning the adjacent survey numbers, W.P.No.13860 of 2013 was instituted and this Court, by order, dated 01.07.2013, disposed of the writ petition setting aside the endorsement of the Sub-Registrar, Renigunta, Chittoor District (3rd respondent), dated 23.04.2013, and consequential directions were issued.
3. Having regard to the submissions made, without going into the merits of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to present the Deed of Conveyance. As and when the said Deed of Conveyance is presented, the Sub-Registrar, Renigunta, Chittoor District (3rd respondent) shall receive and verify whether the same property was also the subject matter of directions issued by the revenue authorities in pursuant to the order of the Lok-Ayukta. If the same property was the subject matter of earlier order of Lok-Ayukta as the complaint of Lok-Ayukta was subsequently closed, in view of the earlier orders of this Court in W.P.No.13860 of 2013, the Sub-Registrar shall process the deed of conveyance in accordance with the Registration Act, 1908, and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, and shall register the document, if the same is otherwise in order. If the sub-Registrar is not convinced to register the deed of conveyance, he shall assign reasons and communicate the same to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed.
