The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner is the owner of land to an extent of Ac. 1.00 in Survey No.299/3, situated in Namburu Village, Pedakakani Mandal, Guntur District. When the petitioner intended to ascertain the market value, the Joint Sub-Registrar, Pedakakani, Guntur District (2nd respondent) informed the petitioner that unless a No Objection Certificate is obtained from the revenue authorities, no information can be furnished nor the Deed of Conveyance can be received.
2. It appears from the pleadings that no written request is made requesting to provide information on the market value and no Deed of Conveyance was presented before the Sub-Registrar. In view of the same, liberty is granted to the petitioner to submit an application in writing to know the market value of the property and to present the Deed of Conveyance regarding the above land and as and when such Deed of Conveyance is presented, the Joint Sub-Registrar, Pedakakani, Guntur District (2nd respondent) shall receive and process the same by duly furnishing the market value and stamp duty payable in accordance with the Registration Act, 1908, and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, without insisting for production of No Objection Certificate from the revenue authorities. If the Joint Sub-Registrar is of the opinion that the property claim as owned by the petitioner cannot be processed for registration, he shall assign reasons and a decision to this effect should be taken and communicated to the petitioner within a period of three (3) weeks from the date of receipt of a request as well as receipt of the documents.
3. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition, shall stand closed.
