HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.34874 of 2014 ORDER:
In this writ petition, the only grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the insistence by the registering authorities on production of ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) from the Revenue Authorities as a condition precedent for receiving and registering the documents presented by her for registration in connection with immovable properties.
2. When the matter is taken up for consideration, learned counsel for petitioner 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 the learned counsel, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. Learned counsel for petitioner also submits that the lands in issue are not assigned to Ex-Servicemen.
3. Considering the submissions of both the learned counsel, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Sub- Registrar, Kalyanadurg, Ananthapur District (4th respondent) to receive and process the documents presented by the petitioner 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 4th respondent is of the opinion that the documents presented for registration warrant 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.
