ORDER :
Heard Sri P. Raja Sripathi Rao, learned Senior Counsel, representing Sri Akhil Munnuri, learned counsel for the petitioner and Smt. Sravanthi, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Stamps and Registration appearing for the respondents. Perused the material available on record. With the consent of both parties, this writ petition is disposed at the stage of admission itself.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this Writ Petition is filed questioning the action of respondent No.3 in dismissing the petitioner’s appeal bearing Appeal No.46 of 2024 vide order dated 28.12.2024 filed under Section 72 of Registration Act, 1908 (for brevity, “the Act, 1908”), which was served on the counsel for the petitioner on 25.09.
The registering authority has no power to verify property title; refusals must be legally justified and based on procedural compliance.
Refusal to register documents under the Registration Act must align with statutory provisions; unsupported refusals are deemed arbitrary.
